Most rear wheel drive Pick up trucks with manual transmission have an idler to provide reverse.
follower gear means the gear after the idler gear
The engineer that designs the gearbox. The sizes of the bull gear and pinion gear(s), as well as any idler gear(s) are dependent upon the sizes of the drive and driven shafts and the torque that will be applied to each, as well as the ratio of gear reduction, and speed of rotation.

An "idler" is typically used for tensioning of a belt, as in the timing belt, or a chain.

all i know is it can be used in a transmission goodbye
No. But if there are two idler gears, one smaller than the other, say a 12 tooth and a 6 tooth. the 12 tooth idler is the idler of the driver gear which has 24 teeth, making the idler gear rotate 2 times for every rotation that the driver gear rotates. Now, if the 12 tooth idler gear is rotating 2 times faster than the driver gear, then the 6 tooth idler gear will rotate 2 times faster than the 12 tooth idler gear. So, the 6 tooth idler gear is rotating 4 times faster than the driver gear. Let's say that the driven gear has 12 teeth. For every rotation of the 6 toothed idler gear, the driven gear rotates halfway.
An idler gear is a gear which connects two other gears so they will turn in the same direction. :)
A simple gear train with idler is a gear train the contains 3 gears. These gears are called the driver, idler, and driven or follower. The idler merely changes the direction of the follower so that it is the same as the driver.

follower gear means the gear after the idler gear
follower gear means the gear after the idler gear
A simple gear train with an idler is commonly used in applications where the direction of rotation needs to be reversed without changing the speed ratio, such as in clock mechanisms or toy car transmissions. The idler gear acts as a mediator, allowing for spacing between the driving and driven gears while maintaining their rotational relationship. This setup can also help achieve desired gear ratios while minimizing friction and wear in the system.
