for those with 04 explorers

My father just bought a 2004 xlt explorer. he says its a very nice truck. I did some searchs on the net to find some feed back, and there were a lot of comments about the tranny. I am wondering if others have had any problems. Most of the comments came from people with 22k-40k on them. My Dad has 31k on his. Is there anything else that we might want to look at. thank you

Have the dealer run your Dad's VIN to see if it needs the tranny fluid additive.
