The temp never gets above the hash mark right below halfway on the temp gauge. This is normal operating temp.

Keep in mind that's not a true temp gauge - it's a computer readout. I'm not sure how the computer is programmed, but it may not be showing you the variation that's causing the fans to cycle. Or maybe it's showing the engine's outlet temp (which I think would be fairly stable) and the fans are reacting to the radiator temp (which changes all over the place depending on thermostat setting and airflow).

My 2012 still has the digital readout as well as the gauge.

For some reason it was pulled from later models.

Think just below half that is shown when fully warmed up is actually a range from 180-230F. The thing never moves at all once in this range.

Assuming they are measuring the same point, I'd think I'd see some movement given the 50F change. But for whatever reason, our computer gauges remain rock solid at one tick below half way. Personally, I'd like to see it behave like a real gauge. That's what I'm used to.
