If that's the case, the thermostat is probably either opening below its rating or stuck open. The hose shouldn't get scalding hot to the touch, just uncomfortable to the touch. Same for the heater hoses. You'd almost need to verify with something better than a factory dash gauge. They are garbage. My dash temp gauge reads about 25-30* cooler than my Autometer does.
