Some radiator fans will not turn on until over 220 degrees F. Is the radiator fan running? If it gets up over 240 degrees F, I would have to check it out. You can check the basics, thermostat--water pump--circulation through the radiator--coolant temperature sensor. Does the overflow bottle fill up in a hurry?

That engine should run at about 210 degrees normally. That is it's design temperature. As JDL says, it's when they get into the 230-240 range you need to worry. Radiator fans normally kick on around the 215-220 mark.
