I have a 2016 6.2 2500 miles so far notice temp running around 200 to 208. Haven't towed yet but im sure it will go up. My 2012 F150 would run 190 and towing about 198 to 202. Im not sure what normal range is for these temps but the gauge on the dash doesn't seem to be affected at all. So must be normal.

My 2016 has less than 500 miles so far. Mine seems run at 196 when I check the information center. At that temp it is still well within the normal range on the gauge. I have not towed anything yet either.

Around 190-200 is pretty normal for these transmissions. They use a thermostat to control temperature, so you're going to see temperatures like that year-round.

Sounds on the high side of normal to me. Stop-and-go traffic can make transmission temperatures rise, but I'd be really surprised if it got much over that. As it climbs the thermostat opens and the cooling system starts working. You have a LARGE transmission cooler, I've never heard of someone overheating one of them.
