Expert Answers about Chevrolet Malibu Maxx


  • Availability of Fulton Hand Winch that Can have Handle on Either Side of the Winch
  • Most of the Fulton hand winches can't have the handle moved to the other side, but if you send me a picture of what you have I can take a look to see if yours is able to do so. For a winch that you can move the handle to the left side you can use # FW16000101.

  • Can Erickson Ratcheted Tie-Down Ropes be Used to Secure Lumber on Roof of a 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx
  • I would not recommend a rope tie down such as # 01801 for transporting lumber on the roof of your 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx. Using ratchet straps such as # EM04418 provides more surface area contact with the wood and you can get them tighter than # 01801. If you were to use # 01801 or something similar I would recommend putting eye bolts in the ends of each piece of wood on each side, running the rope through those, and securing the rope at the front and rear of the vehicle. Then you could...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2005 Chevrolet Mailbu Maxx for Use With an Allen Bike Rack
  • The only hitch made for your Malibu is the Curt Trailer Hitch, # 12280. It is rated for 350 pounds of tongue weight and 3500 pounds of towing. This is a Class-2 hitch with a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. You will need to make sure the bike rack you plan to use fits in a 1-1/4 inch receiver. If you plan to tow, you will need a ball, like # 19258, and wiring # 18252.

  • What Is The Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack For a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
  • For your 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx, I recommend the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Rack # TH45JV. Its patented FitDial system makes the mounting of the rack quick and easy and the high-strength, retractable cables with hooks anchor the back to the Chevrolet Malibu Maxx at four points for stability. I have included a link to the installation instructions. While we do not have a video specifically showing the installation of the Thule OutWay 2 Bike Trunk Rack on a 2006 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx,...

  • Roof Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for a 2007 Chevy Malibu Maxx
  • The Yakima Crossbar Pads part # Y07413 that you referenced will work as a canoe carrier for your 2007 Chevy Malibu Maxx, but it will first require you to install a roof rack on your vehicle. For that you would want the Inno rack for your vehicle that consists of part numbers # INXB108-2, # INXS200, and # INK521.

  • Best Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu Maxx for 3 Bikes
  • The best solution for a trunk rack to carry 3 bikes with your 2005 Chevy Malibu would be the Thule OutWay 3 Bike Carrier # TH56BVO. The platform OutWay is only available in a 2 bike configuration so I can't recommend it for you. What makes this rack far superior to the others is the attachment system. It uses 2 retractable coated steel cables to attach to the vehicle rather than 6 nylon straps like other racks. This makes installation quick and easy and the cables also last longer. The...

  • Brake Controller for 2003 Monaco Neptune with Air Brakes
  • As long as you can isolate a circuit that only sees voltage when the brakes are applied a P3 brake controller part # 90195 can be installed on a vehicle with air brakes. Typically this circuit is found near the brake pedal or the third brake lights. That is where the red wire runs to on the controller. Black wire goes to the positive post of the battery, white to the ground of the battery and the blue to the 5:00 pin of the 7-way at the rear of it. I attached a help article that covers...

  • Will K-Source Towing Mirror KSVS-8 Fit 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx
  • The K-Source Mirror part # KSVS-8 can pretty easily be installed on your 2006 Malibu Maxx. The mounting plate that comes on it can fit nearly all mirror attachments but in case it did not it comes with a mounting plate you could install on your vehicle for it. Any other features besides dimming would be lost with this mirror.

  • Parts Recommendation for a 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx to tow a 2,000 lb Boat and Trailer
  • First thing you need to do is check the owner's manual of your 2005 Chevy Malibu Maxx under the towing section to see what Chevy lists as the towing capacities of your vehicle. The Curt Hitch part # C12280 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your vehicle and has towing capacities of 350 lbs tongue weight and 3,500 lbs total trailer weight. If your owner's manual lists a lower figure you will need to go with that as the capacity as a towing setup is only as strong as it's weakest component. For...

  • Installing Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 36379 on 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx
  • The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36379 referenced in your question is confirmed to fit your 2006 Chevy Malibu Maxx. It sounds like you might be referring to the fuel filler tube on the vehicle that might be in the way to gain proper clearance to access the hole on the frame rail. If this is the case, you will simply need to temporarily lower the tube during installation. This is perfectly fine to do. I have attached the written installation instructions that you can also check out.
