  Motorcraft™ Lower Hose, Hose Radiator

• Description:

  This genuine Ford Motorcraft radiator coolant hose is the molded lower radiator hose for the 2011-2019 Ford Explorer equipped with the 3.5L V6, in the base configuration without an engine oil cooler, power take-off, or trailer-tow package. It connects the lower radiator outlet to the engine cooling circuit and carries cooled coolant back toward the water pump inlet, handling full cooling-system pressure and temperature while resisting underhood heat and engine vibration. The hose is molded from a Ford-specified reinforced rubber compound to the exact bends and length required to route cleanly around the engine, accessory drive, and front-end structure without kinking or chafing. A buyer needs this hose when the original is leaking at a connection or along a bend, seeping coolant, or showing cracks, soft spots, bulges, or heat-hardening, and when a failing lower hose has led to coolant loss, an overheat condition, or a low-coolant warning. Because it is molded to a specific shape, the correct hose maintains proper clearance and coolant flow that a universal straight hose cannot provide. Note that trailer-tow, oil-cooler, and power-take-off equipped Explorers use different cooling routing, so confirm your vehicle matches the base cooling configuration this hose serves. Cataloged as Motorcraft part number KM-5215, it is the correct lower-position replacement to restore a sealed, leak-free coolant path. When installing, drain and refill the cooling system with the specified Ford coolant, inspect and replace any corroded hose clamps, and bleed the system per the factory procedure to remove trapped air and prevent hot spots. Installing the OEM-molded hose ensures proper fit and dependable long-term sealing.

• Applications: 3.5L.
