Transmission Oil change and other fluid changes.

Question, is it required to replace the pan? If so, I’m assuming because the drain plug had a pipe that sticks a few inches above the bottom of the pan and doesn’t design the bottom of it, if so. Plus the filter change.

Yes, because the filter is part of the pan itself. You can either replace with an OEM style or get a PPE pan with a replaceable filter. I did PPE because I'm hoping to keep this truck for lots of miles.

I had the transmission serviced by the dealer at 30K miles. I bought the truck used and it had 15K miles of towing recorded, with air bags installed, which tells me he was towing more than likely heavier than the rating. The dealer agreed with why reasoning.
