The Curt Trailer Hitch # C12185 is a confirmed fit for all models of 2016 Chevy Malibu, including the hybrid versions. This is a bolt-on hitch that is going to require the use of stabilizing straps # 18050 with all non-trailer accessories such as bike racks and cargo carriers in order to maintain the warranty.
I've added a link to a demonstration video for you which shows you how the straps are used. view full answer...
Yes, the Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors # HM60195VA wil work fine on a 2012 Malibu just like on the 2011 model year shown in the linked video. Since this camera system is designed to attach at the rear license plate it will work on almost any passenger vehicle. The included cable is almost 20-feet long so it gives enough length for most cars. view full answer...
For a 2003 Saturn LW200, you would need the Roadmaster Base Plate Kit, part # 523114-1.
As you said, the 194-3 will fit the same model year Malibu, as well as the Olds Alero and Pontiac Grand Am SE, but not the Saturn L series. The # 523102-1 fits the 2000-2002 Saturn L series, but not the 2003 model.
In addition to the base plates, you will also need a tow bar, safety cables, lighting and a supplemental braking system.
I can recommend the Falcon 2 towbar, part # RM-520 and the # RM-643... view full answer...
For your 2016 Chevy Malibu that has the Draw Tite Hitch part # 36652 installed I would recommend the Saris Freedom SuperClamp EX2 part # SA4025F. This lightweight, USA-made bike rack is great because it only touches the bikes at the tire and provides a very stable way to transport your bike.
While most platform bike racks are pretty heavy this one only weighs 35 lbs. In my opinion this is the best all-around bike rack. view full answer...
2016 is what's known as a split model year for the Chevy Malibu, which means there's actually two different models carrying the Malibu nameplate. The 2016 Chevy Malibu Limited is the same vehicle as the 2015, it's essentially a 'leftover' from the previous model year. The 2016 Chevy Malibu has a completely new body style, and is a brand-new vehicle.
If you have the 2016 Malibu Limited, the Roadmaster # RM-523183-5 base plate is compatible with the active air shutter system. To use a Blue... view full answer...
With the Roadmaster Invisi-Brake part # RM-8700 you have to also install the stoplight switch kit part # RM-751481 as it is a requirement for the 2017 Chevy Malibu.
Install of the Invisi Brake is pretty time consuming and involved. The SMI DUO part # SM99251 on the other hand performs just as well, if not better, and is much easier to install. Because of that it's our installers favorite solution. You have to use the same stoplight switch kit though.

For towing a trailer with your 2016 Chevrolet Malibu I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36652. This is a custom-fit Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 3,500 lbs and max tongue weight of 350 lbs. Make sure to consult your owner's manual to see what your vehicle is capable of towing since it will be the limiting factor. This hitch has a concealed cross tube and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

For your 2013 Chevy Malibu LS there are two hitches available. The part # C12115 and the part # 36358 that you mentioned. Both are a fit for your vehicle and would be a great choice for a bike rack but the difference is the two use slightly different attachment methods which means the part # C12115 will be slightly easier to install. Because of that it would be what I recommend.
The Swagman XTC2 part # S64670 is a great bike rack that you would like. But a better option I would recommend... view full answer...
In order to know if the Hopkins Collapsible Vehicle Trunk Cargo Organizer # HM74113 will fit into the trunk of your 2016 Chevrolet Malibu you will need to measure your trunk. The cargo carrier measures between 37 to 43 inches across and 16-3/4 inches deep. view full answer...
I have a solution for you but there are no class III hitches available for your 2019 Chevrolet Malibu. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C12185. This is a custom fit, class II hitch, that bolts on with included hardware. It has a towing capacity that exceeds your Malibu's 1,000 lbs towing limit, so it being a class II hitch does not affect its ability to serve your needs. You should always go off of the component with the lowest towing capacity and in this case it will... view full answer...
Our friends at Thule confirm that their Passage Trunk Mount Bike Rack, # TH910XT is indeed a fit for your 2010 Chevy Malibu.
For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike is not carried at an angle. view full answer...
For a 2 bike rack on your 2007 Chevy Malibu LS I would recommend the Swagman Trailhead 2 Bike Rack you looked at, part # S63360. It will work in your 1-1/4 inch hitch and has the tilting feature that allows you to access the trunk of your vehicle once the bikes are removed.
It has dual arms which will give better stability and the arms will fold down when not being used. It has a maximum weight capacity of 70 lbs.
If you want to lock the bike rack to the hitch you can use Swagman Locking... view full answer...
All of the hitches we offer for the 2017 Chevy Malibu require fascia trimming, including the Draw Tite part # 36652. I attached a picture that I took from the install instructions that show where the trimming takes place. view full answer...
The Curt CIass II hitch you mentioned, part # C12115 is indeed a fit for your 2014 Chevy Malibu. If you're planning on using the hitch exclusively for towing, the hitch would work just fine for you. However, if you also plan on using the hitch as an attachment point for hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack or a cargo carrier, I'd recommend you go with the Draw-Tite Class II, part # 36538.
Curt's warranty stipulates that a stabilizing strap like part # 18050 needs to be used for... view full answer...
Whether or not a bike will make contact with a vehicle depends on several factors. It depends on the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the rear most part of the vehicle. And it depends on how long the shank of the bike carrier is as well as the width of the bike.
Since I don't know which hitch you are having installed it is hard to say how far it is from the pin hole to the rear bumper. But on the Swagman XC bike carrier # S64650 it measures 10-1/2 inches out to the... view full answer...
To safely transport your 2011 Electra Townie Balloon 3i bike on your 2009 Chevy Malibu I recommend taking a look at the Yakima FullBack # Y02634 because of its secure mounting system and integrated locks to help deter theft of your investments.
This particular carrier, which is confirmed to fit your Malibu, uses SuperCush anti-sway cradles to hold the bike frame at 3 different points and an interlocking system that adjusts to the shape of your vehicle for a really secure attachment. Its... view full answer...
