Your ford will have an electric cooling fan, make shure the fan is coming on , also consider having the rad flushed, this will remove any build op in the rad it's self
Check for leaks when the engine is still hot. The problem could be a hose, water pump, cracked radiator, leaky overflow reservoir, bad radiator cap, or any one of several other problems. Isolate the problem/leak if you can, then decide whether you can fix it yourself or not. Also check the engine oil. If it's foamy and high on the dipstick, you likely have a leaking head gasket. Any competent mechanic can run a pressure check on the cooling system and also check the head gasket.
