The highest temp I recorded running with OBD logging is 188.6 and that's idling after 60 mph driving.
Temp drops to about 180 at 60 mph with outdoor temp of 90 deg.
I'll update once I do some towing but that is several weeks away.
The original radiator core is 1.45" thick and this one is about 2" 1.75" thick (updated). I cut a piece thin card board the depth of the core of the original and put it in the new radiator to illustrate the difference. See pics.

^^^The same piece of paper in the new radiator.
Update - This is not a fair comparison. The tube plate is deeper than the core.
^^^Inside upper tank. (taken with snake camera.)
^^^Original radiator with side bracket.
^^^New radiator side view. Bracket is integral.
