Mine reads about 185-190 empty but has seen 205 in the summer pull'n a trailer. A buddys truck will go over 220 on a hot day pull'n.

my water temp hasnt gone over 200 and i only hit that cuz i was pulling 16ft inclosed 75 with winter cover on and it was like 50 out.. that was about a 50mile trip. but most times it just sits at 190 though

in my experiance (monitored w/ autoenginuity)

towing in the fall i never saw more than about 214 (in traffic)
190 or so is the norm while on the interstate for me.
