Installation Time for Base Plate Kit and Wiring on 2018 Chevy Malibu
Question:
I have a 2018 Malibu that I would like to flat tow. What is the installation time to mount the baseplate RM-523186-4 and wiring harness RM-155. I believe the shop that I contacted to do this work is inflating the time.

To install the Roadmaster Crossbar-Style Base Plate Kit # RM-523186-4 and wiring harness with Bulbs # RM-155 we would likely block out 4 hours to do it. On the generous side for a shop that doesn't regularly do this it could take 6 hours. There are a lot of parts that you want to make sure you label so they go back in the correct location and your 2018 Malibu does have a lot of disassembly and reassembly for both these kits.
I've attached our edited videos to give you an idea of the installation process but obviously not the entire length of the install.
