You probably will need to remove some of the plastic splash guard panel things under the front of the vehicle to drain the radiator effectively. Me I drained mine by running into a wild hog at 70 mph a couple of years ago.... Needless to say the radiator drained instantly, airbags deployed required a tow in. Car was totaled by insurance :(

You remove the 1 piece splash shield, then radiator drains onto cross member and you clean up the mess. No alternative. Needs large catch pan. Messy.
