Low on the back side so you can put the front on ramps and drain it all.

may want to look at a dorman trans pan, the one for my '05 was only $30 and had the plug in it, and was heavier metal than original

Will the dorman 265-171 tranny pan work for a 2wd as well? I've searched and yet to find definitive information on it.
