Cowboy Up - Pt.1 - Ryan x Dutton!reader

Um so I watched all of Yellowstone last week and as a result, my multi-year writer's block was broken by a need to see more of Ryan because I am obsessed with Ian Bohen. Idk how many parts this will have or how often it will get updated as I'm in the last few months of uni but I hope y'all enjoy!

Pairing: Ryan (Yellowstone) x Dutton!Reader (Kayce's twin sister)

WC: 1053

Next part

Disclaimer: Beyond watching Yellowstone I have zero/little knowledge of Western riding and the ranching lifestyle but I do know horses so that has certainly influenced this! I'm also English so writing dialogue correctly for them is not my strong point! If you find any issues please let me know!

The sun was just beginning to dip below the mountains and the cold was starting to set in when she joined him on the fence.  Neither of them spoke for a while, just looking out at the vastness in front of them, all that was theirs but came with so many conditions.  

Eventually she broke the silence, “so you told him?  How’d he take that one?”

Wordlessly he opened his shirt where the ‘Y’ was just starting to scab over, still red and angry.

“Motherfucker,” she swore, “this ain’t fair Kayce.  He doesn’t just get to do this.”

He shook his head, “dad does whatever he wants and there ain’t no consequences for him.  That’s why I gotta do this.”

“Shit man.  What’s Monica gonna do?  Besides worrying about you getting your ass shot in the desert miles from civilisation?”

Kayce chuckled, “beats getting my ass shot in the middle of Montana miles from civilisation.  She’ll be okay, her family will help and she’ll be a teacher.  Just like she planned.  It’s you I’m worried about here with dad and no one else to speak sense to.  ‘Cept Lee”

“Well I’m leaving, dad be damned.  I’m not gonna be a pawn in his power trip.  Gonna go see this godforsaken country and win it all so that when I come back he can’t question whether it’s where I wanna be,” she declared.

Her brother rolled his eyes, “you ain’t talking about the same him now.”

“I don’t know what your talking about,” she denied, staring out at the darkened mountains.

Kayce shoved her shoulder, “you can’t bullshit to me y/n.  That’s the one problem with being twins, ain’t no way to lie to me.”

“I’m just a kid to him, he ain’t ever gonna see me any other way if I stay here,” she admitted, “hell if I stay here no one will ever see me as anything more than his kid.  ‘S why we both gotta do this Kayce.”

He nodded, “no way to stand in the sun in this state, always gonna be a shadow.”

“When I come back I’ll be able to stand in sunlight so bright I’ll have a fucking halo.”

2 years later…

 Montana has its charms all year round, but fall has a particular appeal.  The leaves had started to turn, there was a chill in the air that only seemed to get  stronger and there was still a frost on the grass that the sun hadn’t hit.  

With the sun keeping the cold from their bones, the Yellowstone ranch hands were occupying themselves keeping their roping skills fresh.  Rip observed from the sidelines as the new hand struggled to keep up with Ryan who turned to lecture the kid about keeping his eye on the steer.  

Lloyd rolled his eyes when he missed the horns again, “you gotta try harder than that if you wanna be a wrangler!”

“He keeps pulling the damn steer too early,” the hand argued back.

Ryan glared at him, “don’t fuckin’ blame me for your bad skills.”

Before they could descend into an all out brawl, the group were distracted by the sound and sight of truck coming down the road.  They watched it pull up in front of the barn, trailer in tow.  A rare silence occupied them as they watched a young woman step out, adjust her hat then stare out across the ranch in front of her.

“Well I’ll be damned,” Lloyd muttered, “she’s back.  You fuckin’ know about this?”

Rip said nothing, but his face gave the answer.  The other hands who recognised her muttered between themselves about what she was doing back after so long.

The new hand leaned over towards Ryan, “who the fuck is that and why does everybody care?”

“That is y/n Dutton,” he answered without taking his eyes off of her.

“I didn’t know John had another daughter,” he responded.

Ryan shook his head, “hell kid you gotta lot to learn about this place.”

“She’s fuckin’ hot mind,” the hand murmered.

The older hand spat out his words, “you keep words like that off your tongue if you want to keep it.”

Lee stepped out of the barn and stepped around the truck to greet her, “the prodigal daughter returns.”

“I don’t see Beth anywhere,” she laughed bitterly, “but it’s good to see you Lee.”

He hugged her, “I’m glad you’re back.  Been a long time coming.”

“I came back for me, not for him remember that,” she turned towards the corral, “think I’ve given them enough of a show to explain it so they can pick their jaws up off the floor?”

He gestured for her to follow him towards where the ranch hands were all still quietly watching.  She strode over to the group, smiling at Rip who nodded back at her.

“Where’s that mare of yours?” He asked.

Y/n shrugged, “a champion barrel horse would be wasted on this ranch.  Sold her for more money than I’m ever gonna earn in the rest of my lifetime.”

“You ain’t rodeoing anymore?” Lloyd questioned.

“I did what I set out to do when I went on the circuit.  Saw this godforsaken country and won it all.  It’d get boring to win it over again,” she moved her gaze towards where Ryan was watching her, “ain’t no one gonna question where I wanna be now.”

Rip nodded, “afraid we ain’t got a horse to spare for you y/n.”

“I got that covered Rip.  Got one coming up tomorrow from a ranch in Wyoming.  Some fuckin’ old school boys who don’t know how to be nice to a horse they didn’t ruin,” she explained, “man’s wife broke it and now she’s dead ain’t no one gonna ride him gentle.  Figured he might stand a chance with me.”

Lloyd chuckled, “always were a soft hand.  Figured that’s how you won it all.”

“Guess that question that remains is, do you have a place for me?  Not in the house but here,” she clarified.

Lee looked at Rip then back at his sister, “I reckon so.  You gonna stay in the bunkhouse?”

“Oh fuck no,” y/n laughed, “I didn’t drag that thing all the way from Texas to sleep with these fuckheads.  It’s looked after me in worse places.  Think it’ll do just fine here.”

Thrill of the Chase: Rip Wheeler x Reader (NSFW)

Tagging @kmc1989

Rip knows a horse thief when he sees one, especially when she’s riding John Dutton’s favourite mare, Starbuck. When he sees you up on the pasture astride the horse, he can’t believe the fucking audacity of it.

Most wranglers will wait until after dark, try and shuffle the horse into a truck but you, your brazen. It’s like you just climbed up on the damn thing and took it for a ride.

Rip won’t stand for it.

He’s after you in an instant, his heels digging into Marlowe’s sides as he spurs on the stallion. You see him coming, its impossible not to when you’re on top of that hill. You turn tail, run but Rip, he’s always been about the chase, he’ll dog you until the ends of the earth if you make him.

It takes him a couple of minutes to realise you’re fucking with him, when he starts to catch up you suddenly pull ahead, when he falls back too far you slow it down. It’s a game to you and it riles Rip, sends a flush of rage and adrenaline through his body.

He’s going to catch you, there’s no doubt in his mind because what you don’t know is that that horse has a stiff leg, it doesn’t go the distance. That’s why Starbuck was in that stall all alone, waiting for the vet’s assessment.

When he cuts you off, it’s by the stream that winds through the furthest meadow. His stallion darts in front of yours and Starbuck rears almost throwing you. It’s by the grace of God you remain in the saddle. You’re off the horse in an instant and so is he.

He doesn’t realise how pretty you are until you’re in his face, cussing him out, shoving him. You have quite the mouth on you too, he’s surprised God doesn’t strike you down where you stand.

He grabs you under the arms, drawing you close against his body to stop you from hurting him and that’s when it happens, that’s when he feels that spark, and that spark it starts a fire. He knows you feel it too because suddenly your fingers are gripping his shirt and instead of hitting him, you’re kissing him.

It turns into a wildfire, raw, passionate and all consuming. He doesn’t know how he ends up pants down in the grass, fucking you but being inside you, it’s like nothing else he’s ever experienced.

It’s when he tugs your braid loose that he realises just how much you like your hair being pulled, so he yanks it a little harder and you make the sweetest fucking noise as you come on his cock. It doesn’t take him long after that, a few more thrusts and he’s coming with you, his mouth covering yours, drinking down your pleasure.

He thinks he dozes off in the aftermath, the warmth of your body pressed against his in the midst of spring. He’s drowsy, sated, relaxed, the sun high in the sky above him, the scent of the earth surrounding him.

The next thing he knows he’s waking up to the sound of galloping hooves. When he raises his head, he sees you riding away on his stallion Marlowe, leaving him with a lame horse and his dick in the wind.

He slams his head back into the ground and stares up at the cloudless sky.

His curse has always been to love wild women.

He trudges back to the stables with Starbuck in tow, his jeans grass stained and fury he hasn’t felt in a long time. The others must see the darkness in his expression because they don’t question the fact it looks like he’s taken a tumble. When he puts Starbuck back in her stall, he’s surprised to find Marlowe back in his, chomping on a bundle of fresh hay.

“Hi boy,” He says softly, his palm running over the stallion’s nose. “I didn’t think I was going to see you again.”

That’s the part that hurt, the idea he wouldn’t get to see Marlowe again. The two of them have been partners in crime ever since he started at Yellowstone.

When he steps inside the main house to tell John there’s a thief in their midst he’s surprised to find you sitting pretty on the couch, sipping from a mug of tea. You’ve re-braided your hair and when you look at him, it’s as if you haven’t just fucked the shit out of each other up on the pasture.

“Rip.” John greets him as he turns in his seat. “Imogen was just telling me about Starbuck.”

“The old girl just needed a little run, she’d been cooped up in the stable too long, that’s what was causing her stiffness.” You say as you set the cup down on the coffee table in front of you. You raise to your feet, holding out your hand to take his. “I’m the new vet, my friends call me Jen.”

Love Rip? Don’t miss any of his stories by joining the taglist here.

Lightning On My Lips (Every Time You Kiss Me)

11 - All Gas, No Brakes

Pairing: Tyler Owens x OFC Georgia Tennley

Rating: Explicit

Warnings: LOTS OF FLIRTING and touching and teasing, alcohol consumption

A/N: The biggest tease. I think y'all know what's coming after this one. Also this is definitely one of my favorite chapters so hope y'all enjoy it too.

Playlist

Extra Note: You will want to start the song linked below when the dancing scene begins for the full effect.

With Kate and her barrels in tow, they headed to Enid. Tyler kind of enjoyed being the third wheel to the girls’ budding friendship. He felt like maybe, just maybe, Kate could have a best friend again, and Georgia could have a sister who supported her, but he also guessed those could be one in the same for both girls. Tyler knew it had been traumatic for Kate, losing her friends and boyfriend at such a crucial moment in her life. He didn't have to ask. They didn't have to talk about it. There was an understanding there that Tyler felt he needed to leave alone for now. With Georgia, all he knew of her old friend, Maisie, was that they'd grown apart after she stopped barrel racing. He knew how awful her sister was to her though, now. She’d shared texts that her sister had sent that really cemented that she hated Tyler, and that she thought Georgia was being a child. Tyler believed now that Georgia was just lost after that tornado had taken her father. She felt like she had no direction, so when Tyler came into her life, she clung onto him so bad, and that obviously hurt her sister. There were faults from both parties.

Georgia, as always, was impressed with Tyler's ingenuity. He'd somehow come up with another trailer while her and Kate had been packing up some of her research, and by the silence beside her, she guessed he was trying to figure out the mechanics of how it could all work. When they got to Enid there was a whole host of humans awaiting them. Tyler's crew, still including Ben, surprisingly, as well as Kasey and Cory. Georgia felt like she hadn't seen them in years even though it had been less than a week. They both hugged her tight at the same time, before letting her go with wide smirks. 

“So, is there something going on between you and Tyler and did you fuck him yet?” Kasey asked and Georgia shook her head with a smile.

“Yes...we're tryin’ to figure out what exactly is it...no we did not fuck yet.” She said and the two other girls laughed as the trio turned, arm in arm, and joined the Tornado Wranglers. 

“We've been driving around in the van with Dexter and Dani. You missed a big one. I'm not as good with the photos as you.” Cory said, handing Georgia her camera. She'd wondered where it had ended up. Luckily it had been packed in it's bag just before they got rolled so it was pretty well protected. She looked through the most recent photos and they were all great.

“You're not bad though. Keep tryin’ and you'll get it.” Georgia said, giving Cory back the camera. Lily was showing Kate what they'd missed and Tyler was talking to Boone about new rockets. Boone got excited and as he turned he saw Georgia. He jogged to her and hugged her, in normal Boone fashion.

“Hey, Gee. You doin’ okay?” He asked as he pulled away, but kept his hands on her upper arms. She smiled at him. She appreciated that Boone had always been so welcoming to her. He could be rude to her, especially after everything that had happened with Tyler’s last time rodeoing and what he went through for recovery, but she figured it would never occur to Boone to be that way. 

“I’m good, Boone.” She said and then Boone turned to Tyler and clapped him on the shoulder. “So uh, what’s up with you two? You back together?” He asked, and everyone stopped in their tracks. Dexter, who was taking a sip of coffee, nearly spit it out. Dani almost choked on the sandwich that she was finishing. Ben’s wide eyed stare connected with Boone’s and then Tyler’s. Lily snickered and bumped elbows with Kate. Kasey and Cory both couldn’t help the laughter that they had dissolved into. Tyler swallowed hard and took a deep breath before his gaze locked on Georgia’s. She left it up to him to answer and he knew that.

“Somethin’ like that.” He said and everyone stayed quiet, but there were pretty big smiles on their faces, including Kate. She was happy Georgia had taken her own advice. 

Both crews got to work on data analysis for Kate’s barrels of sodium polyacrylate. Tyler had gotten that new model up and running just like he said he would and they tweaked it here and there, trying to find the right balance. He figured out a way that might work to blow the lids off the barrels from inside the cab of the truck, so that they wouldn't lose any of the sodium polyacrylate mixture and they would stay safe inside the truck.

“We’re gonna need to test this out in the field. We need charges for the barrel lids.” Tyler said and Kate’s expression went from focus to elation. She knew she’d made the right choice, deciding to go with his crew instead of going back to StormPAR. She felt bad leaving Javi, but she just couldn’t keep working for a crew that wasn’t in it to help the people. 

🌪⛈️🌪

Tyler felt like he was going insane. For whatever reason today, he felt like everything Georgia did, she was teasing him. Every little swing of her hips as she walked away or toward him. Every little smile, or even worse, when she smirked at him. He wasn't trying to be funny but she laughed at everything that maybe had even a little bit of humor attached to it. And her fucking laugh . It was like a beautiful symphony to his ears. He couldn't get enough. 

Okay, maybe she wasn't teasing him, but he felt like something was behind every little move she made. He felt as though her opening up and being vulnerable with him yesterday had just made her ten times more attractive to him. He'd always wanted to ask about her father but he never dared to. He'd known there was a story there and until now he hadn't poked at her for it. He actually wasn’t sure what prompted her to open up in the first place, but he was thinking maybe Kate had something to do with it.

There wasn’t much for chasing for most of the day, just some small cells that they wouldn’t make it to intercept, but it did give Tyler time to get the mechanism for the barrels figured out. He got it connected to the panel on his truck in no time with Dani and Boone's help. Around dinner time they all headed to a motel for the night, expecting storms to crop up over the next few days that were going to be big. There was a pretty big gathering of other storm chasers at the same motel that night, much like the first night Georgia had reappeared. They were all drinking and partying, enjoying a clear night out before some of the last storms of the season. 

Everyone got cleaned up and headed out to the little community that had been erected In the parking lot. They'd seen the StormPAR crew drive in, but assumed they'd all retired for the night. Kate was kind of hoping she'd see Javi, but she tried not to be disappointed when she didn't. The rest of the Tornado Wranglers had dissipated to different areas of the party. Dexter, Dani, and Ben took seats around the small bonfire that someone had made from a pile of wood they'd found and they were fueling it with paper and beer cans. Kasey and Cory had popped over to the convenience store across the street and came back with a couple of cases of beer, adding it to the ever growing ‘bar’ made up of ten or so coolers filled with ice. Boone was chatting it up with the two guys grilling burgers, dogs, and corn on the cob. Kate, Lily and were smack dab in the middle of the designated ‘dancefloor’, leaving Tyler and Georgia to each other.

They had showered and changed separately, so when Tyler came out in his cowboy hat, his tight blue jeans, and the Tornado Wrangler belt buckle front and center holding in a tucked in green button down shirt, with the sleeves rolled up to show his forearms, Georgia could only stare. She'd opted for jeans as well, her shiny PRCA belt buckle on board. She had on a blue long-sleeved shirt with opaque sleeves with flowers on them. The shirt was a v-neck and a sliver of the skin above her belt, and below her belly button peeked out. It wasn’t a crop top, but it was short and she couldn’t tuck it in. She'd left her hair down and it dried wavy from the shower. Her bangs fell slightly over the right side of her face and Tyler wanted nothing more than to tuck them behind her ear and run his fingers across her pretty rosy cheek. He knew she didn't wear makeup, so the blush in them, he would have to assume, was because of him.

“Want a beer?” He asked, as his hand touched hers. He was going to take her hand and lead her to the coolers, but her attention was split between him and watching Kate and Lily dance. Boone had brought food over for them and himself and he was chowing down on his burger as he nodded at Tyler. Georgia glanced up at Tyler and gave him a thumbs up. He brushed his fingers across her lower back and went to grab beers for them. He grabbed a bottle for each of them, twisting the tops off as he walked back. He handed her one and took a heavy swig from his own.

“Thirsty, Arkansas ?” She mused and he raised a brow at the nickname. 

“I remember the first time you called me that.” He said softly as he switched hands on his beer, making the move to place his other hand on her back. He let his fingers slide down the curve of her spine slowly as they both drank in comfortable silence. He stopped at her belt and hooked his thumb under it. She turned slightly toward him, taking a long sip of her beer. It had been too long since she drank and she was unfortunately already starting to feel lightheaded. It didn't help that she didn't have anything in her stomach either. 

He cocked a hip and gazed down into her pretty blue eyes, shrouded slightly under her curtain of hair and the nearly faded evening light. She reached up and took his hat, placing it on her own head and taking another sip.

“Y’know you owe me two now.” He said as he pressed in closer to her. She smirked and lowered her gaze to his belt.

“Two, what?” She asked, mocking innocence. She tilted her head and his tongue darted out to wet his lips before he swallowed hard. 

“Two rides, darlin’.” He said, his lips curling up on one side. He leaned down, lips just brushing the shell of her ear. His voice was husky and low. “And if you feel like I remember, I ain't gonna last more than eight seconds.”

Georgia's heart nearly beat right out of her chest, as Tyler took his hat back, but before putting it back on his own head, he used it to shield their faces from everyone else as he leaned in for a kiss. His lips on hers sent sparks throughout her entire being and a fire ignited in her core that was bound to turn into an inferno by the end of the night if they kept this shit up. When they parted, they both had wide grins plastered on their faces, and empty beers in their hands. 

“You want another or would you like to dance?” He asked and she motioned to the makeshift dance floor. The beginning guitar chords to “Think I'm In Love With You” by Chris Stapleton rang out from the speaker and as the snare and kick drum came in to make a slow rhythm, he took her hands in his and guided her back and forth. 

Baby...do you ever wonder...whatever happened way back when or if I'll see you again.

Tyler twirled her slow and pulled her back closer, their hips meeting and swaying back and forth.

And maybe...if you ever wonder...aw you might wish things could change. I know this might sound strange but...

Tyler mouthed the next words as he glanced down at Georgia wrapped in his arms, the green in his eyes catching the gentle flickering light from the fire and the other chasers KC lights.

I think I'm in love with you. I didn't know it at the time. I know what I wanna do. It's makin’ me lose my mind.

He sent her for another twirl and this time pulled her back so that her back was against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close as they swayed back and forth for the next few lines.

I thought about thinkin’ it through, and everytime I do, I find, I wanna make your dreams comes true. I think I'm in love with you. I'm in love with you.

His hands slid out of hers and down to her hips as there was a brief pause in the lyrics. His fingers tightened and his hips pressed into her ass as she ran her hands up her own chest, up to his shoulders briefly before letting them travel down to where his hands were on her hips. As the singer began again, she closed her eyes, continuing to let him guide her. The energy in the singer's voice picked up.

Oh, you are the power over me. You are the truth that I believe. You are my life, you are my world. You are the air I'm breathin’, girl. You are the light I wanna see. You're all of everything to me. You are the reasons I am, woman!

Tyler ceased their movements for a moment with the music, curling his head down and letting his lips grazing her neck, and then he picked up again, slow with the music, as Georgia's fingers intertwined with his once more. She tilted her head to allow him more access to her neck and he took the offering. His mouth was hot and wet on her skin, sending shivers down her spine. She couldn't help herself as she rolled her hips against him. As the lyrics began again, he turned her in his arms and her hands easily hooked around the back of his neck.

I think I'm in love with you. I didn't know it at the time. I know what I wanna do. It's making me lose my mind. I thought about thinkin’ it through and every time I do I find, I wanna make your dreams come true. 

“ I think I'm in love with you...” He sang softly with the song but she knew it was meant for her, lust behind half hooded eyes meeting. As the song began to wind down, his hands stayed at her lower back, his thumbs hooked in her belt and gently pushing her back and forth against his hips. Her hands left the back of his neck and took a soft hold of his face, gently begging him to kiss her. He obliged readily, as a soft press of his lips became his tongue tangling with hers, the neediness evident in all of his muscles. He couldn't get her any closer but he wanted her even closer. Another song began and they parted, deciding it was very much time to take this encounter elsewhere.

Ok Wrangler's life was definitely messing with them at this point. They had somehow been transported to a place called North America, located on a place called what was it again Dearth? ( Props to anyone who knows where I got that) No that's not right Earth, by the Goddess there was so much information to remember. They had holed themselves inside of a Library in a City they were just passing through. They gathered many history books, maps, reproduction copys of texts that spoke of this worlds magical history, and books that explained cultures and the world's inhabitants.

They inhaled all the information for 2 reasons. 1 to better navigate these new lands that were way more advance in there technology ( expect no Airships, which was a downgrade in their opinion) and 2 too hopefully spark an idea or give them a lead on how to get back home. This was a headache for sure and that wasn't even counting those strange Monsters that would attack them or how they were called here demons. Terrifying creatures that are ruthless in their attack, wether it be on humans or at times eachother to gain more power and status to excert over there own kind. Scary to be sure but nothing Wrangler couldn't handle with ingenuity and there Monster companions at there side.

An.. ttack... in... Market Fair...al

A broken voice snapped them out of there thoughts, curiosity as to the source of the voice led them near the front desk where the librarian watched there small static box ( which they learned were called TV's) with raptured attention.

" I repeat, Market Fair has been attacked by demons, the local police are waiting for military reinforcements, all civilians please evactuate to safe areas and stay clear of Market Fair"

A demon attack? Down by the Market Fair, that was relatively close to the library, and it seems that the Millitary would take a bit to get here... hmmph it seems that Wrangler would have to leave until it was sorted out. Well that was the plan until they noticed in the background of the TV when they went to get a closer look, civilians were trapped left to run for there lives or be killed. Seeing that sparked something in Wrangler, it brought back to the forefront the want to help and protect others. The same thing they wanted to be given for years until they met Monty and the other villagers of Rosehill.

" Oh jeez I just can't turn a blind eye can I?

So though the silver haired royal as they walked with there Monster companions in tow towards the epicenter of the attack, not knowing that twin silvered- hair Demon Hunters were heading down there too

Looks like two worlds about to collide. Hopefully Dante and Vergil hold their suspicions since they probably pick up Wrangler's strange demon aura.

The Ultimate Guide to Flat Towing for Pontiac Drivers and RV Travelers

Flat towing, or dinghy towing, plays a crucial role for many RV travelers and Pontiac drivers. Understanding how to do it correctly can save you time, money, and stress on your travels. This guide will clear up any confusion about flat towing, helping you determine which vehicles can be safely towed behind an RV. Whether you're heading out on a long road trip or need an extra vehicle for errands along your journey, knowing about flat towing is essential.

Flat towing connects a vehicle directly to an RV using a tow bar, enabling the vehicle to roll on its own wheels. However, not every vehicle is made for flat towing; using the wrong type can cause serious damage to the drivetrain. This blog post explores suitable vehicles for flat towing, identifies those that shouldn't be towed, and gives you practical tips for a smooth towing experience.

Understanding Flat Towing

RV owners often prefer flat towing because it is simple and effective. Unlike traditional towing methods that lift the vehicle, flat towing keeps your car on its wheels, making it easier to maneuver. To flat tow, you need proper gear, including a tow bar and safety cables, which ensure the vehicle stays securely attached to the RV while you travel.

Before you flat tow, it’s important to know your vehicle’s mechanics. The drivetrain, which includes the transmission and differential, may be damaged if your vehicle isn't designed for towing. Always check your owner’s manual for specific flat towing instructions. For example, the 2023 Chevrolet Equinox manual mentions that it can be flat towed with the proper setup, while the 2022 Honda CR-V specifies that it cannot.

Which Vehicles Can Be Flat Towed?

Not all vehicles are created equal when it comes to flat towing. Here are the types that can handle it safely:

1. Manual Transmission Vehicles

Most manual transmission cars can be flat towed without issues, mainly due to their straightforward drivetrain setup. Popular options among drivers include the Solstice, which allows for easy towing because its parts are not engaged. For instance, owners of the 2005-2010 Solstice have reported successful flat towing experiences with minimal preparation.

2. Specific SUVs

Some SUVs are engineered for flat towing, featuring a transfer case that makes it easy to switch into neutral. The 2022 Jeep Wrangler is a prime example, renowned for its flat-towing compatibility, which many owners utilize for road trips. Similarly, the Chevrolet Equinox has been recognized for its flat towing capability, with a significant number of RV owners choosing it for its utility.

3. 4WD Trucks

Certain four-wheel-drive trucks can also be flat towed, but you must check the owner's manual to be sure. Models like the 2023 Ford F-150 excel in flat towing when set up correctly. For example, the F-150’s four-wheel-drive system allows for easy shifts into neutral, confirming its towing capability.

Vehicles That Should Never Be Flat Towed

Some vehicles are explicitly engineered against flat towing due to their design or drivetrain features. Here are types you should avoid:

1. Automatic Transmission Cars

Most automatic transmission vehicles cannot be flat towed. They rely on lubrication from the engine, which doesn’t occur when they are towed. For instance, the 2021 Honda Accord requires a trailer for effective transport, as flat towing can lead to severe transmission damage.

2. Vehicles with CVTs (Continuously Variable Transmissions)

Cars with continuously variable transmissions, often found in many hybrids like the Nissan Leaf, are not designed for flat towing. These systems need engine engagement to function properly, making towing an elevated risk. Many Leaf owners have encountered issues when attempting flat towing, underscoring the importance of checking your vehicle’s capabilities.

Practical Tips for Safe Flat Towing

Knowing what vehicles can be flat towed is just the start. Here’s how to do it safely:

1. Consult the Owner's Manual

The owner’s manual for both your RV and the vehicle being towed should be your first stop. These manuals contain crucial information about towing limits and guidelines. For example, the 2023 Ford Bronco’s manual provides specific instructions, which many owners find useful for proper towing configurations.

2. Use Proper Equipment

Investing in quality flat towing equipment is vital. A reliable tow bar, safety cables, and brake lights are necessary to ensure safety. For instance, using a high-quality tow bar setup, like the Blue Ox Alpha, can significantly enhance towing stability.

3. Regular Maintenance Checks

Before any trip, perform a thorough inspection of both vehicles. Check connections, brakes, and tires to ensure everything is in working order. Regular maintenance can help avoid accidents and ensure you’re ready for the road ahead.

4. Practice Towing Before Long Trips

If you are new to flat towing, practice in a safe area first. Learning how it feels to tow can help reduce mishaps and improve your confidence for long journeys.

Final Thoughts

Grasping the essentials of flat towing is vital for car drivers and RV travelers alike. By identifying which vehicles can be towed safely and recognizing those that cannot, you can avoid costly repairs and improve your travel experience. Always consult your owner's manual, invest in the right equipment, and follow best practices. With thoughtful preparation, flat towing can enhance your journey, allowing you to explore the open road with confidence.

As you gear up for your next adventure, remember this guide to ensure a safe and enjoyable towing experience. Happy travels!

Engine Parts: Tyler Owens x Reader

Companion piece to:

The Mechanic - Tyler faces a problem when Boone brings his mechanic ex girlfriend back into the fold.

Rigs -Tyler reflects on history with you

Ford Mustang - Tyler extends an olive branch.

The garage is a minefield of memories for Tyler, everything from the song on the sound system to Ford Mustang you’re still working on because it required ‘extensive restoration’. The thing had barely been more than a shell before he’d helped you tow it home. Now all it needs is a little more work on the engine and a new paint job.

Four years is how long you’d estimated it would take to fix up if the two of you worked on it together. Even then you were thinking in the long term, and it turns out he was too.

It’s why he bought that ring when he was passing through Arkansas, the one with three sapphires embedded in the silver band because he was paranoid that any stone that stuck out would get caught when you were wrist deep in engine parts. He’d carried it around for weeks, waiting for the right moment and then it was gone in the blink of an eye, swept away by the harsh winds of the tornado that almost killed you both. He wonders if anyone ever found it, if his misfortune gave way to someone else’s happiness.

When he sees you working there inside the garage, your upper body tucked under the hood, singing along to Zach Bryan’s ‘Sun To Me’  it takes him back to the weekends you spent teaching him how to take apart an engine. His thoughts slip to the evenings sat on the picnic bench out back, sipping beers and staring up at the stars, the nights he spent tangled up in your sheets, whispering sweet nothings against your skin.

Time hasn’t dulled any of those memories, in fact it’s sharpened them because Tyler re-lives every detail of your relationship when he’s alone those motel rooms. It’s you he thinks of when he looks in the mirror and sees those scars that linger on his own skin, the ones from the rodeo and the ones that came after.

“Sophie.” He says softly so he doesn’t startle you. “Can we talk?”

You don’t say anything as you use that rag to clean your hands. Instead you open the old refrigerator tucked alongside the work bench and take out two beers, snapping off their caps with the magnetic bottle opener, before drift past him and head towards the picnic table around the back. Tyler follows a step behind, the scent of orange blossoms and motor oil flooding his senses.

“You wanted to talk.” You say as you take a seat on the bench. “So talk.”

He doesn’t know what to say as he sits down, there are so many thoughts, so many feelings riling up inside of him, he finds it difficult to articulate. He should outline the program, tell you the work he’s been up to, explain why they need you on this project but being back here, it fucks with him. It brings back everything he’s spent the past three years trying to shove into a box inside his head.

“You left.” He says abruptly as you raise the beer to your lips and you pause before you set it back down and meet his gaze.

“And you didn’t follow.” You say, shrugging your shoulders. “I guess there are somethings that just aren’t worth chasing.”

Your words, they eviscerate him. They cut like a knife into his chest, tearing out his insides until all he can feel is the agony spilling out of him.

“Is that what you think?” He asks you, his voice raw with emotion. “That it didn’t mean anything to me, that you didn’t mean anything to me.”

You don’t answer and he understands in that moment that he fucked up back then, that he’s been fucking up ever since.

“Sophie…” He begins, his hand reaching out for yours. “Something awful happened to you, something traumatic and I was responsible for that. I…” He trails off, his eyes stinging as he gropes for the words. “I thought you needed a clean break, away from me, from the Wranglers.”

“I left because I didn’t want to chase anymore.” You tell him as his thumb strokes over the hollow of your wrist. “I needed to come home and recover, I wanted you to come with me, to take some time away from it so we could do that together but…”

“But I needed to face it.” He says quietly. “Because if I hadn’t I would have never gone back.”

“I can’t go back.” You tell him. “If I do this, I can’t chase. I’m happy to work with your crew, maintain the rigs either here or out there but I’m not heading into the storm with you.”

“I wouldn’t expect you to.” He tells you, squeezing your hand lightly. “You’d be support only, tailoring the rigs to what we need, ensuring that they can function under intense conditions. Those are the only things that I’d ask of you, I promise.”

It’s his sincerity that convinces you, the intensity in his eyes as he studies your features. He’s willing to try to make this work and you guess you can too because the goal here, it’s so much bigger than the both of you. The project he’s apart of, it saved lives a couple of months ago, it’ll do it again with the right equipment.

“No cameras.” You say as you pull away, your fingers slipping out from underneath his. “You can take videos of the rigs, the workshop, the alterations that have been done. I’ll even coach Dani or Boone to explain it but I don’t want to be camera. It’s taken long enough for the people in this town to get used to the way I look, I don’t need it to be a topic of conversation on the internet.”

His jaw clenches as his eyes linger on the scar. To him it’s a symbol of your resilience, your strength. You took on Mother Nature and you lived to tell the tale. It’s only now that he realises how self-conscious you are, how much of your confidence has been stripped away.

“Alright.” He promises you as he takes a sip of his beer. “No cameras.”

Mud, Puddle, and Dirt

Simon 'Ghost' Riley X GN!Reader

Word Count: 1000± Warnings: Profanity, Ghost being kinda goofy?

A/N: Dedicated to @bubble-dream-inc because this post about CoD men and what car they're driving immediately put this idea into my head because, of course, Ghost would drive a Wrangler. So, might as well take him to an off road track and have a day full of banter with him.

“Hey,” Simon softly called.

Turning to see him, you saw him putting his arm out to hold your shoulder.

“Ready to go?” he asked.

You nodded and smiled at him before looking ahead to the muddy tracks that consisted of a lot of bumps and hills. The 4x4 that you leaned your back against would be on that soon.

It was one of the rare occasions when Simon was going out with you without his mask on. A full day of looking at his face.

To be fair, mostly because the last time you did this, Simon got mud all over his mask.

“I will conquer this fucking track,” you said.

Simon only looked at you for a moment before running his hand up and down your back.

“Remember what the fuck happened last time?” Simon asked.

How could you not?

Last time, you got the car stuck in the mud. It was to a point where Simon had to get out of the car and pushed while you tried to work the gas.

At first, you were actually trying, but feeling that you would need another car to pull your car out of the mud, you stopped trying. Meanwhile, behind you, pushing the car, Simon was covered in splatters of mud.

“Simon, are you even pushing?” you dared asking.

“Are you even driving?” Simon replied.

“I’m driving! Are you pushing?” you replied.

“I’m pushing the shit out of this thing!” Simon stated.

“I doubt that,” you said. “What use are all those muscles if you can’t even push a car?”

“Yeah? You fucking push, then. I’ll drive,” Simon said.

“Sure,” you agreed.

From the mirror, you saw Simon stepping back. You hit the gas again, sending another splatter of mud at him.

Simon only looked at you for a long time. Then, you turned around to see him as if you had done nothing wrong.

“Come here, you fucking twat!” Simon said before rushing towards you.

Laughing, you hopped out of the car and ran off. However, because you had not seen where you were going, you ran uphill and ended up slipping down before falling on Simon’s arm. It was fortunate that he caught you else you would have fallen into a puddle.

However, right away, Simon wrapped his arms around you and smeared the mud that was all over him on you.

“Damn you,” you said. “Now I’m covered in dirt.”

Simon opened his arms, revealing all the mud that was also all over himself.

“I’ll call someone to tow the car,” Simon said.

A moment of silence happened before Simon was trying to blow a lot of air out of his mouth. He also tried to spit out something through his mask.

“I got muck in my mouth,” Simon said.

At the very least, the rest of that day was not so bad. The two of you ended up going on a long drive, covered in mud and all. At the end of the day, when you both returned to the place you were staying the weekend in, you took your time cleaning each other up in the shower.

This time, you were staying at the same place and honestly quite excited for the end of the day.

“Yeah, well, last time we were shit out of luck,” you said.

“Just so we don’t get fucked like last time, how ‘bout I take the first lap?” Simon offered.

“No, Simon, I need this,” you insisted. 

“I’ll backseat drive you, then,” Simon shrugged.

“You can backseat drive me, but I can’t promise I’ll listen,” you smiled.

“Fuckin’ hell,” Simon sighed. “Sure. If we’re both upside down, it’s all your fault, then, yeah?”

“Oh, are you scared I will get us fucked like last time, Simon?” you teased.

“I… there’s a footy match, if you get us fucked like last time, I’ll miss the kick off, love,” Simon replied.

“I thought you brought me here to spend time with me,” you said.

“It won’t take more than two hours,” Simon reasoned.

You only looked at him, displeased.

There was a thin smile forming on Simon’s face as he looked at you.

“Tell you what, if you make a full lap with no trouble, I won’t watch it tonight,” Simon said.

“Deal,” you said.

With that, the two of you hopped onto the naked Jeep. You started driving towards the start line.

“Start slow,” Simon said.

“I know what I’m doing,” you replied.

“Yeah, start slow,” Simon repeated.

Out of spite, you hit the gas. You went straight ahead, passing through rocks and pebbles without feeling anything.

“Jesus,” Simon muttered. “Puddle!”

This time, not wanting to make the same mistake as last time, you treaded lightly. You carefully went around the puddle before climbing up the dirt hill that was standing a few feet ahead of the puddle.

There was a bit of a struggle climbing up the hill. There was a lot of mud splatter left behind you. With a little bit of force and consistency, you finally went over the dirt hill.

“Doin’ well so far, love,” Simon commented, his voice shaken by the rough track you were driving on.

Continuing on the track, you drove ahead, leaving splashes of dirt and mud behind you. The track was getting rougher and so was your driving.

Occasionally, Simon guided you through your drive. He also encouraged you, giving you half compliments. Regardless, it was giving you the support to tackle the roughness of the track; the pebble that was just out of place, the big rock that was only visible when you were too close, the turn that seemed impossible to take.

“What the hell are you doing turning this way? The track went the other way,” Simon questioned after you took a turn.

“What? No, it went this way,” you replied.

“It went that way,” Simon argued, pointing to the direction behind you with his thumb.

“I remember route,” you said with a little bit of hesitation as you looked back through the mirror.

“You don’t,” Simon said.

“You wanna bet?” you asked.

“Do you?” Simon asked back. “If you’re wrong, I’m watching that match.”

As soon as he said that, you had to hit the brake because you were faced with a cliff.

Simon looked at you as you kept your eyes forwards.

“Yeah, I’m watching footy tonight,” Simon stated.

“Y/N?” Bucky has one hand on the steering wheel of the Jeep Wrangler, the other gripping his cellphone against his ear. He was headed back towards the ‘Pack Dwelling’, as some would call it, representing the large house in the middle of the woods that his pack all lived in. Bucky had been out meeting with the Stark Pack, a pack of ten located about two hours away from their property.

It was mating season, and having been more ESTABLISHED than the Stark Pack when it came to that time of the year, their alpha Tony had asked to meet up and give advice to his group of betas. Tony himself had been through MANY mating seasons with his mate Pepper, but his pack of betas were fairly young and hadn’t experienced anything related to the first heat. Tony and Bucky explained the process to the males, bringing in the females after with Pepper in tow to help explain to them how their heat would affect them. After staying for a late lunch Bucky finally said his goodbyes, thirty minutes from home when y/n called.

“Buck…” She whined on the other end, the alpha sitting up straighter in his seat. He KNEW what was going on from the sound of her voice, a deep growl leaving his chest. This was it, this was HER first heat. His foot instinctively pressed harder on the gas, a wild look of excitement spreading across his face.

Y/N and Bucky had been together for about three months now, and the moment his cerulean hues locked on her he KNEW she was his. She had been a member of the Romanoff Pack originally, but had lost their alpha in battle. The new alpha that had taken over was cold-blooded, had a thirst for human hunting, something SHE and half of her pack did not agree with. One night, while everyone was asleep, they made their escape, becoming omegas for a few months before stumbling upon Bucky and his pack in town. The rest was HISTORY.

“I know, doll. I promise I’m hurrying.” He was going at least twenty ABOVE the speed limit at this point, not giving a fuck as he traveled on the backroads of town. No cops ever traveled this far back, and there hadn’t been another vehicle on the road for at least ten minutes. “Are you alone?” He questioned, his cock stirring in his dark denim jeans.

“Yes, Peggy also went into heat about the same time as I did today, Steve has been taking care of her in their room. But the new betas, the ones without MATES, they can smell me. They’ve been trying to get in the room but I threatened to rip off their heads if they did.” She KNEW Bucky was pissed, a darker growl wafting through the phone speaker, hearing the sound of the Jeep speeding up.

“They KNOW better.” He snapped, hearing her hold the phone away from her ear as she screamed at the betas who continued to claw at the door. “They should know you belong to ME, you have the mark to prove it, don’t know why they think they can touch their ALPHA’S property.”

Bucky’s words make the wetness between her legs worse, her panties already soaked in her denim shorts. “You can deal with them when you get here. But I really need you to hurry, Buck. I’m SO hot right now.” It felt like her body was on fire, her hips bucking against the pillow on the bed to create stimulation to her clit.

“I’ll be there in FIVE. Then I’ll show those dogs who you BELONG to.”

Bucky barely gets the Jeep in park out in front of their rustic estate, ripping his seatbelt off and slamming the door, the muscles in his arms bulging TAUT against his favorite black leather jacket. The door smacks against the wall as he enters, making the female betas watching a movie on the couch jump.

“Where are they?” He questioned through gritted teeth, pulling his leather jacket off and dropping it to the floor carelessly. One of the betas points in the direction of y/n and Bucky’s master bedroom, his footsteps getting louder as he strides against the hardwood floor.

“BOYS!” His voice is booming, the low growl settling in his chest. The three young betas clawing at the bedroom door stop, turning to look at Bucky with fear in their eyes. “What the FUCK do you think you’re doing?”

One of the boys looks back at the others, visibly shaking. “W-We’re sorry, alpha. Y/N just smells so GOOD. We can’t help it, we don’t have anyone.” Bucky moves to stand directly in front of them, gesturing to the door which displayed THICK scratch marks now.

“You want her that bad, huh?” He snaps his teeth at them, making them flinch. “Get out of my FACE before I rip your throats out with my TEETH.” The boys scramble, knocking into each other as they sprint down the hall and into the kitchen.

Bucky turns his attention back to the door, jiggling the locked handle a few times before he hears it unlock, pushing it open. Of course the SCENT of her arousal wafted a mile down the road, the stench only getting stronger as he walked closer and closer to the bedroom. His eyes take in the site of his mate, his cock hard as a rock now in his jeans.

She had discarded her shorts and tank top by now, the heat overtaking her, NEEDING to be free. Her drenched panties still clung to her hips, her breasts completely exposed. She looked DAZED, like she was trying to see through a fog, her mouth open and panting for cool air.

Bucky kicks the door shut behind him, walking up to y/n and kissing her deeply, his hands running through her hair. She melts against his lips and his body, feeling him press his tightened jeans against her, a moan leaving her lips when she could FEEL how hard he was already for her. She’s panting again loudly when he breaks the kiss, his hands roaming over the beads of sweat along her back, caressing her body and placing kisses down her jawline. He gently walks them backwards until they fall onto the bed, all of Bucky’s weight pinning her down.

“Buck! I need you, I’m literally on FIRE.” She croaked out, her hands going up into his long locks and tugging. A deep growl emits from his throat again, his teeth scraping against the darkened mating mark on her skin, drawing a few droplets of blood. He’s licking and sniffing all over her neck and collarbones, snaking his body down hers as he scents her, marking him as HIS. This would keep the betas away for sure, her scent covered with HIM.

Bucky watches as y/n arches her back into him as his lips latch onto her breast, sucking for a moment before moving to the other. His lips trailed down her abdomen, stopping to place wet kisses just above her pantyline. “Gotta taste you first, you smell so DELICIOUS.” He teased, a sharp fingernail slicing easily through the thin fabric of her panties. He pulls the shredded bits away, admiring her folds as they glistened with her honey.

Bucky wastes no time, lapping against the juices on the outer folds before diving inward, his beard scratching PERFECTLY against her skin. Soft moans are falling from her lips, her fingers still toying in his hair, hips bucking into his face to take MORE. It isn’t long before she cums, sending sweet liquid to his tongue.

“H-holy shit.” Her eyes close in pleasure, Bucky slurping up all of the liquid she gave him before he pulls back with a smile. “Doll, you taste even SWEETER than usual.” He gets off of her to remove each article of clothing he still had on, kicking his shoes in with the pile, his cock slapping against his stomach as it became free from the fabric binding him in.

He steps forward towards the bed again, tugging on one of her ankles to pull her so her ass is RIGHT up against the edge of the bed, her legs instinctively flexing open at her sides. “Want to take you like this first, fuck you slow on my cock, see your face when I first press into that needy cunt of yours.”

Y/N whimpers on the bed, her flingers moving to tug at her pink nipples. “Please, Buck, NEED to feel you now. I promise I’ll be GOOD.” Bucky settles against her slit, the tip of his cock red and angry, a light sheen of pre-cum leaking out. He lines himself up, one of his hands gripping her hip as he pushes in. His eyes focus on her face, watching it contort with pleasure at being filled finally. His cock was long and girthy, y/n’s cunt swallowing him in until he couldn’t push in any further. 

He barely moves backward before she cums again, tears falling to her cheeks from how incredible it felt. “Baby please move, need MORE of you.” Her nipples are hard from the way she pinched at them, one of her hands moving down so her fingers can press against her clit. Bucky’s hips move back so he’s halfway out of her before plunging back in again, bottoming out. He can HEAR how wet she is as he picks up his pace, a rumble stirring in his chest.

“Doll, you feel so good, so wet for me. Look at you, milking my cock for more.” He fucks her like that for a few minutes before pulling out, y/n whimpering at how EMPTY she felt. “Get on your hands and knees, ass up.” She does as she’s told, rolling over onto her knees and sticking her ass up high. Bucky SHOVES his cock back in, going deeper in this position than he had been before. His rough hands grab onto her hips, his nails digging into her skin as he fucks into her animalistically.

“So fucking good, look so BEAUTIFUL on your alpha’s cock.” Her walls tighten as she cums a third time, mumbling nonsense, a lazy smile spreading on her face. Bucky chuckles, one of his hands moving into her hair, tugging her flush up against him. He tilts her face so he can see her, her eyes fighting the urge to close. “Look at you, going fucking STUPID on your alpha’s cock. Can’t even stop yourself from coming, like the whore in heat that you are.”

She’s drooling a bit, letting him fuck her senseless. “Yes alpha. I’m a whore in heat, only for YOU.” He can feel his orgasm building, a guttural groan escaping his throat.

“Gonna cum in that sweet cunt, fuck you down onto my KNOT to fill you full.” The hand on her hip snakes around to rub over her stomach, his hips snapping against her harder. “You’ll look so good all SWOLLEN with my pups, gonna keep you full of my cum always, make you my breeding whore.” Y/N loses it again, submitting as she cums one last time, the hand Bucky had in her hair moving forward to grip her throat, touching along their mate mark.

“You like the thought of that, huh? You came just from THINKING about me using you as my breeding whore. Maybe when you’re heavy with my pups I’ll bring you out into the living room and make the beta boys WATCH as I fuck you, let them watch what a whore you are for me. Let them know who you belong to as I fuck you stupid.” She’s whimpering at how good all of it sounds, swallowing as best she could with his hand around her throat.

“Y-yes alpha, PLEASE, want you to do all of that. Want you to breed me, tie us together with your KNOT, want to be your breeding whore.” Her words are all it takes before his knot builds inside of her, tying them together as she wanted, ropes of cum spurting deep inside of her, breeding her full. Her stomach BULGES from all of the cum that’s pumped inside her, wincing at the sting of the knot as it locked her into place. Bucky releases his hand from her throat, her body heaving forward and collapsing on the bed, his own body resting atop hers.

He places gentle kisses to her shoulder, nuzzling against her. “Did so GOOD, doll. Can’t wait till we have a little family of our own.” She smiles, her breathing finally steadying and the fire on her body dissipating a bit.

“A little family of potential alphas to take their daddy’s place someday. I like the sound of THAT.”
