What are your engine temps while towing?

My new setup with the crv has been doing 195 degrees on a 70 deg day for small hills on highway. It goes up to 211 on hilly terrain on 90 plus days.
On a recent trip across Vermont on route nine then into New York on route 7 during a day in the 80's it was going from 208 to about 237 highest. Had to pull some of the hills in first gear then on the grades that were maybe 7 percent.


I know when towing my focus i never got above 220


What are some of your temperature numbers, at least for mountain/very hilly terrain?

237 would make me nervous. Transmission fluid deteriorates as heat goes up. If you don't already have synthetic transmission fluid, I get it swapped ASAP with those temps. It holds up better under high temps.

Are the temps listed the engine or tranny temps?

engine temps, tranny didn't get that hot maybe up to 215 max for a short time.
