the fans both work--no water from exhaust or bubbling in reservoir when running cold

Cars almost never overheat because of the thermostat. Wanna be mechanics always say that because it's the only word they know.
9 years is pretty old for that radiator. It's probably half clogged and needs replacing. Power flushing probably isn't a good idea, since it clears out areas that haven't seen coolant in years and they're probably going to start leaking.

I agree that it is probably thermostat. The way to check this is when car heats up to the point the the fans start (with a/c off) the air blowing from fans should be hot because they are disapating heat from the radiator. If the air is cool there is no heat in the radiator because the thermostat is not allowing hot coolant to pass. i.e. A hot engine but a cool radiator indicates a bad thermostat.

Most likely your thermostat is stuck.
They sit in hot water, antifreeze and steam all the time.
They tend to corrode after a while.
Say, nine or ten years...
Thermostats are cheap to have someone replace.
Easy to do it yourself, too.

Could be:
Thermostat stuck
EGR malfunction that does not throw a code, like clogged passages (so timing is still advanced)
Head gasket leaking
Radiator corroding/clogging up on the inside

If you are not losing water any where, you might want to replace the thermostat as it is the easiest and most economical item
