What do you recommend to do for the 120k maintenance? Not a DIYer so it’s going to the dealer or trusted mechanic. Thanks for you input….

Part of it will depend on your year model and if the vehicle is completely caught up on maintenance. There is a probably a thread somewhere out there for this question.
If I recall correctly, the general standard per the book is:
Oil & Filter
Rotate
Inspect all wearable items (CV joints, brakes, engine air & cabin air filter, etc.)
Grease drive shaft
Replace AHC Fluid
Replace Brake Fluid
Replace coolant (for non-super long life coolant models, every 30K)
Re-Pack front wheel bearings (although I'd wait until it needs a front brake job)
Replace Spark Plugs
Some additional maintenance items to consider:
Driveline fluids (trans, diff, etc.)
Thermostat
Heater T's
Power Steering Fluid (of course if your rack is leaking, maybe wait until you replace the rack)

Just did a brake fluid flush on my new-to-me 100 and was surprised at the crap which came out. Guess it had never been flushed before! Anyway lots better brake now- glad I did it and hopefully it will save on parts wear and tear. Will do it again soon as the reservoir isn't as clear as it should be. Ned

She's a 2001, has been dealer serviced by the previous owners and running well.
I did a MAF /throttle body cleaning about a year ago. Not sure if I should do it again.
We'll start to dig around and better see what needs to be done.

My 2002 is at 124,000 and some change. The timing belt was done at 93,000. I checked my air filter a couple days ago and it was clean. Given that I am doing a lot of road trips this summer would I be smart to go ahead and drain the fluids and replace the thermostat so that it dosent give me a problem in the middle of the night with a long ways to go to get home?
Belts & hoses? Everything else has been done except for these. '05 w/ 130k.
As far as I know, there is only one belt other than the timing belt, and it is not prone to unexpected failure. I would not replace the serpentine belt based on mileage alone. If the belt looks worn, then replace it, if it looks good, then leave it.
Same thing with hoses: the hoses are not known to fail unexpectedly, and replacing them based on mileage alone could potentially create more problems than it solves.
The one exception might be the heater hose T fitting near the back of the engine block, which some say will spontaneously disintegrate at 120 k miles.
