When you're tackling a cooling system job on your 1999-2001 Ford Explorer with the 5.0L V-8 engine, replacing the heater hose that runs from the pipe to the water pump is a common step.

A proper fit means you won't have to fight with it during installation, and you can be confident it will hold up over time.
