Trailer Hitch for Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2015 Chevy Malibu
Question:
Do you recommend the curt or the draw tite hitch for a 15 malibu that will carry a bike?
asked by: DarB
Expert Reply:
I would recommend the Draw Tite hitch part # 36538 for your 2015 Chevy Malibu over the Curt because the Draw Tite does not require the use of a stabilization strap like the Curt does when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack.
The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
