in the pic on the previous page, had to cut for the pan to clear at the bottom of the bedside, so which is better to trim back the bedside or pan?

IMO a roll pan that isn't molded in is a waste. They look oh so much nicer once molded in. I have never had anything with a roll pan and the reason is that I use my truck from time to time. If I had a toy truck or something I didn't tow with heck yeah I would put a roll pan on. The stock bumper weighs 1 metric ton and the roll pan is nothing. I almost took the rear bumper off my wife's Yukon since it is getting painted now, but elected to not so I could if I needed too in a pinch tow with it a short distance.

well this is true but some roll pans have a cut out for your hitch, and you can purchase a flip up license plate mount for quick access.
