Hey everyone! I'm new to the forums but not new to explorers. I had a 2000 sport a couple years ago which I got rid of due to electrical gremlins and fuel economy concerns.
I have someone offering me another Explorer as trade for my car. It is a 2004 V6 XLT loaded (no leather) AWD. My concern is that it has 200,000km (125,000 miles) on it and I hear that the transmissions are prone to falling out frequently. The 2002 Explorer is this site's worst vehicle because of this problem and you can see that the 2004 is not much better:

Should I be concerned about an Explorer with mileage like this? He says the transmission is not slipping, would you guys be worried about it?
