Diesel is a different animal. This is in the 3.6 area. People have no clue when they see a temp over 200 they freak and yet - it's been normal for many decades.
I can see seeking solutions for the diesel, but for the gasser, it's really a non-issue unless there's other issues in play.
Half of your post is pure speculation and the age old "hate the bean counters, it's all their fault". Well, with a vehicle that's already priced at the top of the class, I doubt bean counters would have balked at another 100 to 200 bucks per vehicle. Naw, misplaced "blame" for a problem that really doesn't exist within the confines of the gasser specs.
They just don't typically over-heat.

First, you have a diesel in your profile - a 2023, and people are looking at that from many different angles already in the diesel specific threads. Sounds promising over in those threads.I know that once I get my JT, the warranty runs out, and if my radiator springs a leak I will lean toward putting in something that is designed with increased heat transfer in mind.
