Well first of all the trucks don't have enough power to drift lol. You need enough power to keep the wheels spinning at a pretty fast rate...I mean we can spin them no problem, but to hold a drift, i KInda doubt it. And our suspension isn't exactly drifter friendly lol and I would suspect that stock trucks have a poor center of gravity for this sort of thing

i have more than enough power to drift, not that good at it yet, and when the truck hooks up at the end it is a real neck jolting experience

Keeing in 1st gear for me works, or downshift from 2nd to 1st into a corner, about 4500rpms, and nailing the gas, the car will pull a drift unlike any other...
