Assuming you have an automatic, the most economical thing to do is buy 3 gallons of house-brand DexIII and roll with it. You really don't need DexVI unless you want to pay more for it, it IS a better fluid though. Forget the large pan idea, waste of money. Invest in a large transmission cooler, something rated for +20KGVWR. You don't need MORE fluid, you just need to keep it under 210 degrees.
If you're not familiar with the cooler-line flush method, learn it. It's really as simple as pie. Pull the upper hardline going into the radiator, screw in a male fitting (IIRC it's 3/8), slide 6' of hose onto in and into a bucket, start the truck IN PARK and let the pump push the fluid out. Refill the pan with ONE GALLON of transmission fluid, then start the truck and let it pump that out. Pour in another gallon, repeat. Then you can screw the hardline back on, pour one gallon of fluid into the transmission and it should be at the correct level. That's the easiest way to completely flush the transmission, and I do it every 20K miles.
