A roll pan bumper is a style of bumper that that will make the back of your tailgate seamlessly flow down your vehicle and give the appearance of flatness. With a roll pan bumper there is no step like a traditional bumper you see on many trucks going down the road. If you would like to send me a picture of the back of your truck I can confirm if it is a roll pan style or not for you.

I have linked an image of what a deep drop bumper will look like as well as a standard step bumper for your convenience.

The Curt Class V Hitch # C15319 you were looking at will fit a 8 foot bed with a standard bumper or step bumper.

I have linked the page with all the hitches that will fit your vehicle for your convenience.
