It's got a 180* thermostat in it. It will run at 170-175* when the weather is down below 65* but as it gets hotter (above 78-80*) it will run at 185-195*. Then when the temps get over 85-90* It runs a steady 195-200* unless I'm in stop and go or uphill or with a load. Then it goes over 200* and as high as 225*. All of this is verified with an infrared thermometer.
