Good day George
My experience with etrailer was uneventful. Speedy delivery , good product and ease of ordering. When ordering the hitch it read ease of installation 4. Which would be correct. Would have been a 1 if I didn't have to grind the welded nuts off the bumper bracket. Also two of the four holes I had to drill to make them larger to accommodate the installation bolts. I would definitely recommend Etrailer to others. Thank you.

2006 Chevrolet Malibu
Great product .C12272 Went on easy . Good directions. This product for my 2006 chevy Malibu will let me haul deer in carriage rack and haul leaves and grass clippings to the dump. Had to use adapter to carriage rack for 2 inch. I cut off 6 inches on carriage rack so it didn't stick out so far. Brad, Arena Wi.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2004 Chevrolet Malibu ClassicThe trailer hitch available for your 2004 Malibu is the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C12272. This is a Class ll trailer hitch, and it has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. Since you said you will be hauling a riding lawnmower and the weight is about 1,200-lbs it will need to be on a trailer. For a hitch ball mount, I recommend part # C45521. This will need hitch pin and clip # F-4. You will also need a trailer hitch ball. If you need a 1-7/8 inch ball I recommend part # 19256, and for a 2-inch...

view full answer... - Can a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu Handle 350 Pounds of Tongue WeightThe Curt trailer hitch receiver, part # C12272, does have a 350 pound tongue weight capacity and is confirmed to fit your 2005 Chevrolet Malibu. With that being said I looked at the owner's manual to your Malibu and the vehicle itself is only rated to tow a maximum of 1,000 pounds and the tongue weight can only be 10 to 15 percent of a trailer's weight. This means your car has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 150 pounds and adding a higher rated hitch isn't going to change that. You're...

The best way to lower the hangers, is to apply some WD-40 to the rubber mounts to slide the hanger loose.

view full answer... - Can a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Tow a TrailerI'm unable to access an online version of the owner's manual for your 2007 Chevrolet Malibu. But if it says it shouldn't be used for towing then I can't recommend going against the manufacturer's recommendations. We do have trailer hitch receivers that will fit your car, like the Curt # C12272. Keep in mind this hitch fits model years 2004 through 2008 of the Malibu so the user reviews might be from a different model year than yours that can be used to tow. Also, hitch receivers can...

view full answer... - Is There a Class III Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Chevrolet MalibuThe 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...
view full answer... - How to Select a Hitch BallThe correct fit of a hitch ball on a ball mount depends on the ball's shank length and shank diameter. These dimensions matter because the shank has to fit the ball hole in a ball mount. All of our 1-7/8-inch hitch balls are shown on the linked page. These have shank diameters ranging from 5/8-inch up to 3/4-inch and shank lengths from 1-5/8-inch to 3-3/8-inches. I also linked our page for hitches for your car. Each has a recommended ball mount associated on the hitch page.
