I've always been a fan of Aeroquip hose with their AQP inner tube but I would be surprised if it's still made in the USA. Aeroquip is owned by Danfoss, a Danish conglomerate who has manufacturing facilities all over the world. You also have to remember hose has a life no matter who makes it. I worked on heavy equipment before i retired and have seen hydraulic hose 10 years old that you couldn't bend and if you did, the inner liner would break up and come out in little pieces.
