In addition to regular P&M - on my previous 2010 EL, will need to change:
Spark Plugs if original
Coolant test
Transmission Fluid & Filter
Rear Diff 75W-140
Brake Pads, rears wear faster than fronts
Better Shocks
For 4WD, Front Diff & Transfer Case.
Upgrade OEM Bulbs if too dim/not bright enough

1 new plugs with copper anti seize and swap the oil to 5 w 30 mobile one with a oem ford filter were my first ideas

2 next im thinking i should prob work on sunroof and door drains
i was thinking id need to clean them out then open them up a little on the doors and extend the sunroof drain hose so i dont have problems down the road right?
3 & lastly I plan to change all the diff fluid and the trans fulid w new filter before i hit 75,000

does that sound like a good order of operations ?

Indeed it does.
Also, flexible weed eater line is good for cleaning out Sunroof and door drains
