I checked an online copy of the owners manual for the 2009 Chevy Malibu and the vehicle is rated for 1,000 pounds. I cannot recommend towing anything heavier than that. I would take what you have been told with a grain of salt. What you should do is follow the procedures specified in the owners manual.
Paddle shifters on an automatic rarely work like you would want them to. Often times they result in a hard shift or delayed shift which can negatively affect ride quality plus it is one... view full answer...
I looked at the owner's manual for your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu and it states that the trailer should never be heavier than 1,000 pounds. It goes into more detail that other factors can influence the capacity (such as speed, altitude, temperature, and others) and that you should contact GM for specific information. Long story short the absolute maximum capacity of your Malibu is no more than 1,000 pounds for sure.
With that being said, we do have the parts you need to get the Malibu set... view full answer...

The 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... view full answer...

I checked the owner's manual for the 2014 Chevy Malibu and it states that the towing capacity of the vehicle, no matter which motor or trim level it has, is 1,000 pounds gross trailer weight. Trailer hitches such as # C12115 have their own ratings but you always go by the lowest rating, vehicle or hitch, and in this case the vehicle is lower. That means even though the hitch is rated higher you are limited to 1,000 pounds gross trailer weight.
If the trailer weighs 925 pounds when loaded... view full answer...
According to my research your 2001 Chevy Malibu can tow a max of 1,000 lbs. I would recommend you confirm this with your owner's manual.
For a hitch I would recommend the Curt Hitch part # C12027. This hitch has higher capacities than your vehicle, but that does not mean your vehicle now has higher capacities. You must always go with the lowest rated component in your setup as the overall capacity.
For trailer wiring I would recommend the Tow Ready Harness part # 119178KIT that you referenced.

The Curt Class II 1-1/4 Inch Hitch, part # C12051, will fit a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu. It is a 1-1/4 inch hitch with a gross towing weight capacity of 3500 lbs. The 2008 Malibu will only have a towing capacity of 1000 lbs. So the vehicles towing capacity is what will limit you to how much you can tow. A towing systems capacity is limited by the lowest capacity in the whole system, in your case it is the vehicle at 1000 lbs.
