Expert Answers about Chevrolet Malibu


  • Will the Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Bike Rack Fit a 2010 Chevy Malibu
  • Yes, the Hollywood Racks Express trunk mount bike rack # HRE3 is a fit for your 2010 Chevy Malibu. But only if it does not have a rear spoiler. If it does have a spoiler I recommend the Saris Bones EX # SA803. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked...

  • Will the Roadmaster Tail Light Wiring Kit with Bulbs # RM-155, Fit a 2008 Chevy Malibu

I have also included a link to other wiring options if you do have a Malibu Classic along with a link to all of our FAQ articles on flat towing.

  • Is There a Class III Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu
  • The only available trailer hitch for a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu (All Models) is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12272 which is a class II rated hitch. Therefore, no you cannot use a class III hitch on a Chevrolet Malibu which is the case for a lot of these smaller vehicles because they simply don't make one for them due to the limited capacities. That said, if you have class III accessories that you want to use there is still an option in the Tow Ready Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter...

  • What Trailer Hitch Will Fit A 2009 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ And Is Any Cutting Of The Bumper Needed
  • The Draw-Tite Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, # C12051, will work on both the the 2009 Chevy Malibu and the Chevy Malibu LTZ. The difference is the LTZ model uses a different wiring harness since it has LED taillights. On our website, there is a drop down box at the top for vehicle style once you have looked up the year, make, and model. It gives you a choice of All models, except LTZ or LTZ model only. The # C12051 hitch is listed for both of the vehicles, but under the LTZ model only option,...

  • Will The MagnaFlow Muffler # MF10414 Fit A 2010 Chevrolet Malibu
  • The MagnaFlow Muffler, part # MF10414, is a universal muffler so it is not vehicle specific.

The inlet and outlet pipe size is 2 inches. This muffler is a straight through design, which will be a very aggressive muffler for your 2010 Chevrolet Malibu.

  • Base Plate Kit Needed for a 2018 Chevy Malibu Without the Active Shutter System
  • All of our base plate options do say "without Active Air Shutter System" on them. I didn't find anything saying that we have a fit for the 2018 Chevy Malibu with the Active Shutter System but if you could let me know where you saw it we can definitely look into it. For your Chevy Malibu I recommend using the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX1726 which is a custom fit for your vehicle and features removable arms for a clean look when you aren't flat towing.

  • The Blue Ox Base Plate, # BX1679, that you referenced will fit on your new 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. It will not fit on a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu.

  • Length of Rhino Rack Crossbars for 2013 Chevy Malibu

  • Base Plates and Flat Towing Accessories for 2003 Saturn L Series
  • For a 2003 Saturn LW200, you would need the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit, part # 523114-1.
