I put a gate in my pan. This prevents the oil from rushing out of the pickup area when you come to a stop. It has worked great.

Some truck pans came with a baffle while others did not. Adding a baffle, if yours has none, will help. I think a deeper, higher capacity pan is not necessary for the street.

The eariler non-baffled truck pans are terrible. Even a moderate stop on a downhill can send your oil gauge charging to zero.
