Question:

HELLO. I WAS WONDERING IF YOU COULD GIVE ME A COUPLE OF OPTIONS FOR HITCHES. I HAVE A 2000 RAM 3500 4X4 WITH A ROLL PAN. I WOULD LIKE A CLASS V HITCH. I NOTICE SOME OF THE HITCHES SAY THEY WILL NOT FIT.SOME DONT SAY THAT WILL OR WONT. IF YOU COULD POINT ME IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS

The only option to install a trailer hitch on your 2000 Dodge Ram 3500 with a roll pan is a universal one like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame part # 41990-16. This hitch does have a class V rating but the brackets will need to be cut and welded/bolted to your frame in order to work.

Unfortunately, none of the custom fit options we have for you will work on a truck that has a roll pan installed in place of the factory rear bumper. The reason being that the receiver tube opening would require a large hole to be drilled into the roll pan.
