Expert Answers about Chevrolet Malibu


  • Recommended Air Screen Wind Fairing for SportRack SR1002 Roof Rack on 2003 Chevrolet Malibu
  • All roof racks do make noise. At highway speeds especially the least-noisy bar type is the elliptical shape, also known as an aero-style bar. These make less noise than round and square bars but they still make noise. We have a solution for your SportRack square bar rack # SR1002. We offer a fairing from SportRack's parent company, Thule, that will fit on your # SR1002 square bar roof rack. My SportRack contact suggested Thule's 44-inch AirScreen Fairing # TH82WV. This will fit well on...

  • Availability of Class II Trailer Hitch for 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier
  • We do offer two options in a 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch for your 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier that you can view on the linked page. Both the Draw-Tite # 36652 and the Curt # C12185 are no-drill installations and have similar capacities but Curt rates the installation of their hitch as being a bit less complex than the process required for the Draw-Tite. Both hitches require trimming of fascia components as well as temporary lowering of the exhaust for access to the hitch mounting points,...

  • Availability of Base Plates for 2016 Chevy Malibu
  • 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...

  • How to use a Hitch Mounted Bike Rack While Towing a Vehicle on a Tow Dolly
  • The Swagman Traveler XCS, part # S64664 is really a unique item in and of itself, and though there is not a part directly like it, there are a couple options that will emulate the effect. Depending on your tow dolly's setup, you can use the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount, part # D210 or Curt Dual Receiver Tube adapter, part # D-192 . Both of these will reduce your total available tongue weight. The Multipurpose Ball Mount is going to limit your tongue weight to 750lbs, but provides a...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Items Needed for Tow Trailer with 2011 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ
  • We do offer trailer hitches for your 2011 Chevrolet Malibu with enough capacity to tow a 690-lb trailer, but you'll want to check your Malibu owner's manual to confirm that the car itself has the required towing capacity. The car and the hitch may have different weight ratings so its best to check in your manual or with your local dealership. I recommend the 1-1/4-inch Class II Curt # C12051 since this hitch is USA-made. This hitch installs with included hardware and requires a bit of...

  • Availability of a Trailer Hitch to Fit a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid
  • I confirmed with my contact at Curt that the Curt Trailer Hitch , # C12185, is confirmed to fit all models of the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu even the hybrid model. This hitch has a bolt on design and will not require welding the hitch to the frame of the vehicle. Exhaust will need to be temporarily removed for hitch installation. Heat shield must be modified or trimmed for hitch installation.

  • Base Plates for 2015 Chevy Malibu With Active Air Shutters
  • According to my research, the Air Shutters on your 2015 Malibu will prevent base plates from being installed. From what I've been told, the Air Shutters are actually a component of the emissions system of the vehicle, so therefore it would be illegal to alter or tamper with that system. The best bet for towing your Malibu would be to use a tow dolly like the # RM-2000-1. The tow dolly might seem horrifically expensive, but it's actually similar to the total cost of the equipment that...

  • Is There A Trailer Hitch Receiver For My 1965 Plymouth Fury Convertible?
  • I may have a possible solution for you, but we do not carry any vehicle-specific custom trailer hitch receivers or trunk-mounted accessories for a 1965 Plymouth Fury. The only receiver that could possibly work for you is the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver - 18"-51" Wide - 2" Drop - Class III - 2" # C13701. This is a universal receiver than can be adjusted from 18" to 51" wide. It provides a 2" drop which you would probably need, if this fits the frame of your Plymouth. The mounting...
