Nice find! Wish I would have known this before spending the money for the Reische. Reische is good quality, but overpriced in my opinion. Key is finding a cold side thermostat so that you are using the correct type. This OEM thermostat from the Coyote should be perfect as a much cheaper alternative.
Edited to add...my truck runs 180-185ish with the 170 thermostat. Just adding that for anyone researching.

One issue is the OEM cold fuel logic's trigger point is around 180 degrees, if I'm at 170-179 in the cooler hours or in winter my fuel economy shows it
