I wouldn't be. I'd want 170--200-ish. Newer cars go hotter, they don't even turn on the electric cooling fan(s) until 210 or so.

Transmission temps not engine temps.

Yes. Transmission fluid in the pan at 170--200 ish. Newer vehicles can be warmer than that, since the radiator isn't fan-cooled until 210 or so, so even the "cool" tank of the radiator--where the trans cooler lives--is going to be plenty warm.

My 2019 GMC trans fluid never gets that hot even when towing.
