Where's your temp gauge running on the V6?

I'm wondering if I don't have a thermostat that's stuck open on my 2018 truck? It warms up fairly decent, but the heat doesn't really blast you out of the truck like my Dakota did. And the temps around here have been around 40 degrees F. I'm worried that it won't be enough when the middle of winter can be 0 degrees around here. Is this about normal, or should they be pointing straight up?

That’s about where my gauge stays at. Mine range like That_Cat_Guy said, can look at the temp readings. It should be in the truck information option, that displays the number readings.

Oh, I didn't know that. So, one of my info pages should show actual temp. Got it.

Mine runs just under 200 in the winter going up the mountain. In the summer it runs max 228 going up the mountain.

Your first picture looks like normal to me. Mine's running right there too.
