Cummins Dodge Ram Goes Drifting Like It Forgot It's a Diesel Pickup Truck

This isn't the first time when we talk about drifting having taken over the world. Heck, it's not even the first time we do that today. However, the slip angle adventure we're here to discuss comes from a rather unexpected corner of the motoring realm.

Ladies and gentlemen sliders, we give you the drifting... Cummins. To be more precise, we're dealing with a Dodge Ram that acts like it forgot it's an oil-burning truck.

The blue collar machine slides like there's no tomorrow, putting on a monster show at local event held over in Mexico. Don't let the name of the video trick you, though - what you see here is not tandem drifting. This is tandem drifting.

"Took a trip down to Mexico to test out the video quality of my Samsung Galaxy Note 7 and ran into this happening! A built Dodge Ram Cummins drifting with a slammed Infiniti G35," the uploader explains in the description of the footage.

Since we can expect the motor to pack around 500 lb-ft in stock form, adding the expected aftermarket work means this truck isn't all that difficult as a dance partner. Oh, and let's not forget that the configuration of the vehicle means there isn't too much weight to keep the rear planted.

However, when it comes to going for a more complex approach, one that would require going from one side to the other, it's not difficult to understand that the generous body roll of the machine would bring serious difficulties for the one behind the wheel.

Even so, the people gather at the event seem to be extremely pleased with the stunts of the bed-wearing vehicle. In fact, we're asking you to hit the "button" below and be the judge of this one: which ride pulls the cooler sideways stunts - the Dodge Ram or the stanced Infiniti?
