My 2017 Big Horn temps seam a little high travling the Highway at 65 in small hilly terrain in southern MS at 90 deg .
Coolant T 206 to 210, oil t 222, trans t 175. I would think engine temp would be around 190 to 200?
Anyone have the straight scoop from Dodge?

All those numbers are good. Mine has seen coolant 212 before, tranny 185. Pretty much tops out at that. When going down a long hill foot off gas i see the temp drop down under 200 and the tranny couple of degrees, i'm assuming this is a situation where the pcm tell the active grill shutters to go wide open.

Factory stat is 203 I think, and your temps all look average. My 8 speed here in the Phoenix area when its 110 outside will
run right around 192 average running in tow\haul mode....
