After how many miles must you change the radiator hoses on a 2001 ford expedition 5.4...?

Miles don't matter as much to hoses as the age does.



That said, the hose manufacturers say every 4 years....which realistically means you can double or triple that number and be safe.



I have a 99 Tahoe with 130k and it's 10 years old (build 2/98) and all the hoses are original. Still look and feel fine.



Your mileage may vary, but hoses really do last a long time.

110 miles isn't very many



hoses are to be replaced as needed, not a a predetermined interval.
When they start to swell and weaken. The next time you drive the truck look at the hoses see if they are swollen if so grab the hose at that point and see if you can easily squeeze them.
