I think the high engine oil temps have a lot to do with the differences between a vehicle meant for towing versus on that is not. There are reasons why truck grilles are so big and why they get bigger the more the truck can tow like a half ton versus a three quarter ton. Towing under that amount of load requires a lot of cooling
While the Raptor is not meant to tow, the platform it is built upon is and it has a big grille and radiator because of it. The Durango on the hand is not built for the purpose of towing and has a much smaller grille and radiator made for a smaller engine. Slap in a big 6.4L and 7,000 lb to the tail and the smaller radiator will probably have a hard time keeping up.
