That is very possible.Your radiator could also be plugged,You water pump could be could be giving out or the head gaskets are bad..Those are all worse case scenario's But yes the thermostat could be the problem..I'd start with that then make sure your clutch is working properly..Hope this helps you and have a great day

If you have a viscous fan hub then have it replaced as it is not drawing air through the radiator at idle or slow speed (crawling traffic). Check that are no air locks in the system as they will cause heating problems.

Could be the heater valve is not opening very far. Could be the heater core is mostly plugged with rust. Could be the thermostat is not closing. Do you have a temp gauge on the dash? Does the engine reach normal temp in about two miles of driving?
