3 RZ operating temperature

Just installed a digital temperature gauge and was surprised to find that operating temperature was around 205 and at idle in traffic went as high as 212. Vehicle didn't display any of the symptoms of being hot. Does anyone else run a temp gauge in their truck/4runner, and if so what is normal operating temperature?

We used the aftermarket sensor and installed it where the original sensor was located.

That dosnt sound hot at all for a late model motor. 200-210 is pretty normal for cars nowadays, but 230+ is what i would consider .

It was on PARK so the speed is 0MPH. Tested about 10 min after a test drive, ~3mi. The temperature guage was at the middle, operating temp.
