I have been trying to drift with a Dodge Ram Pickup because I thought it would be fun to seen a full size pickup haulling ass, just sliding in a out of the corners. The problem is that it is very difficult to drift with, because of it's weight, and length. There is no problem starting the drift, it's just when you try to exit the corner, and end the drift, there is so much weight shifting in the other direction that it spins the truck around completely 180 degrees. I did the body ridigity, and that made it a little more stable, but at this point I cannot do consistent drifts with the vehicle. I would appreciate any help you guys could give.

Thanks

if this is a setting/tuning request, it should be posted in the drift settings depot. That way others will have the benefit of finding the settings there also. Would you mind reposting there?

with regards to the countersteering issue and exitting the drift, i think the same advice applies here as it does to everything else. keep it smooth and dont countersteer more than necessary. CS-ing at full lock as you try to exit a drift will whip the vehicle around when you regain grip - as you have experienced.
