Running your engine at higher temperatures makes it more efficient. Ideally you would want it to have it running just below the fan trigger temp all the time, but that's just not possible.

My elantra runs at 196 and the fan kicks in at 220.

Since dash gauges are so innacurate, I would not suggest running your truck fanless without a way to accurately monitor coolant temps.
