I think mine in my Jeep has hit 223 or 224 on the guage. It has been rare, but does happen once in a while. Not as high as yours but not too far off, either. The fan then kicks on and sounds like an F-14 at military power, then it comes right down. I tow only a little with that Jeep, so it was on its own when I noticed it. I think one time was rock crawling in Utah at about 1mph in very hot conditions.
Edit...I'm reading it from a digital readout, not a needle.
