Stock Thermostat

Well I've replaced the thermostat in my truck about a year ago, right now the highest I've seen with the new thermostat is around 193.

What would the stock tempature of the thermostat be? I've thought I've seen were the stock tempature was around 195 or so.

When I replaced mine I was told 190 or above is normal at full operating temp.
