The top radiator hose is above the thermostat. If the top radiator hose is hot, the thermostat is opening. The thermostat is not the problem. Perhaps the radiator is clogged up or the water pump is bad. Look elsewhere.

Why does a ford temp overheat when you first start it?
Most of the time it is because the thermostat has gone bad and is not opening at the proper temperature. Cure: replace thermostat. If the thermostat has been replaced, flush the radiator. Buildup of residue in the bottom of the radiato0r will cause overheating, but it is maintained over heating, not temporary.

There could be several symptoms. But the most common would be overheating with the water in the radiator staying cold. If the water in the radiator is hot, the thermostat is opening. If it takes a long time for the water to get hot, (heater takes a long time to warm up) the thermostat may be stuck open.
