Hi Scotty I like your videos.
Friend of mine has a Ford explorer 2004 xlt
4litre.
Is has about 100 k miles and looks nice.
Good tires and paint nice.
But the transmission has a problem with reverse.
Is it common problem and is is expensive repair?
All the best

Those cars have transmission issues around that mileage. Have a transmission pro check it to find the issue.
Transmission issues were the top complaints for the 2004 Explorer, unfortunately, including transmission failure occurring on average around 90,000 miles with average cost to fix around $3,000. Your actual cost could vary from this. See below:
