Expert Answers about Chevrolet Malibu


  • Will Hopkins Backup Sensor System Fit if License Plate is On Trunk and Not Bumper
  • The pictures of the Hopkins Backup Sensor System # HM60100VA we currently have on our site are just sample pictures on different vehicles. It actually doesn't matter if your license plate is on your trunk or on the bumper, this system will work either way! In fact, I am attaching a sample installation video of this on a 2010 VW Jetta where the license plate is located on the trunk like what you mentioned.

  • Will Roadmaster Base Plates For 2011 Chevrolet Malibu Fit 2014 Or 2015 Malibu
  • The Roadmaster base plates that are designed to fit a 2014 or 2015 Chevrolet Malibu are part # RM-523178-4. Unfortunately, the base plates for a 2011 Malibu will not work. The base plates for a 2011 are part # 523145-5. I have attached a helpful article that explains vehicle towing you can check out.

  • Compatibility of Standard Hitch Pin and Lock on Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender
  • The Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender - 2" Hitches - Aluminum - 300 lbs # Y01149 comes with a threaded shank for a threaded pin which is also included. It will not work with a regular hitch pin. If you want a locking pin, then you will need the # Y07235 for this application. If you want the ability to use the standard hitch pin or standard hitch pin lock, you may want to consider an alternative like the Erickson Big Bed Junior Load Extender for Truck Bed or Roof - 2" Hitches - 350...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Chevy Malibu LTZ
  • I checked with Curt, the manufacturer of trailer hitch # C12115 and they list the hitch as a fit for all models of the 2014 Chevy Malibu so that would include the LTZ trim. I have linked the instructions below and a video showing an example installation for you. Other sites don't have human-power to keep up fit information like we do. Or they are caught up on the fact that the available hitches exclude Canadian models and not US models. The recommended ball mount with the hitch is # C45017...

  • What Vehicles Does the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver 24965 Fit

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ2 with Dual Exhaust
  • The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36538 is a fit for a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ2 with dual exhaust and what I recommend using.

  • Is It OK for Turn Signals to be Out of Sequence on Dinghy
  • You have not done anything wrong with the 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56190KIT. It looks like you have a 2017 Chevy Malibu and we have actually heard of this happening before on Chevy vehicles, though the reason why remains a mystery. So long as the turn signals are functioning there isn't an issue.

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch That is More Hidden for 2013 Chevrolet Malibu
  • We have not yet had the opportunity to install the Draw-Tite Class II Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36538, so unfortunately we do not have installation photos of the hitch on a Malibu. We do have a review on the # 36538 hitch from another customer who wanted a hitch that is more hidden than the Curt hitch. He is very happy with the way the Draw-Tite # 36538 hitch sits on his Malibu verses how low the Curt # C12115 hitch hung down.

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Confirmed To Fit a 2023 Chevrolet Malibu
  • Curt has confirmed that their Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12185 will fit the 2023 Chevrolet Malibu. We do not like to assume parts will always fit the new models years so we research and test fit products in our facility just like other manufacturers. This is due to the while the main chassis may remain the same we cannot guarantee something under the fascia hasn't changed that would affect the fitment.

  • Correct Wheel Strap for Tow Dolly for 2005 Chevrolet Malibu
  • The # 317-18900 would work well on a trailer, but more than likely your tow dolly uses specific straps with a different hook to secure your vehicle to it. Even if you previously had this style, I know a few do, I can't guarantee that it will fit. The length on the fixed side might be too long/short to keep your vehicle properly secured depending on the attachment points. I recommend using the straps designed for your specific tow dolly. We have the following based on tow dolly brand: Ultra-Fab -Wheel...

  • Will Hopkins Rear View Camera with Backup Sensors HM60195VA Fit 2012 Chevrolet Malibu
  • 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.

  • Will Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs Fit 2004 Chevy Malibu
  • The Air Lift Vehicle Suspension # AL60776 that you referenced is a fit for your 2004 Chevy Malibu. Installing suspension will not increase your weight-carrying capacity but it will allow you to maximize your current capacity when you carry heavy loads. Your owners manual will have your weight capacity listed. When you will be carrying an uneven load you can adjust each airbag individually. When your air bags are not in use you should leave a little bit of air in each one to prevent...

  • Will the Hollywood Racks Express Trunk Bike Rack Fit a 2010 Chevy Malibu
  • Yes, the Hollywood Racks Express trunk mount bike rack # HRE3 is a fit for your 2010 Chevy Malibu. But only if it does not have a rear spoiler. If it does have a spoiler I recommend the Saris Bones EX # SA803. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have linked...

  • Seat Cover for 2011 Chevrolet Malibu
  • The Aries Automotive Seat Cover # AA3142G is a universal seat cover so it will most likely fit, but as with most universal seat covers it may not be an exact form fit to your seat. We have not yet had the chance to test fit this seat cover on a 2011 Chevrolet Malibu. We have 4 different seat covers made by Aries that are confirmed to fit your Malibu. The Camo seat cover is part # AA3142C, Tan is part # AA3142BR, Black is part # AA3142B, and Gray is part # AA3142G. Any of these four will...

  • Compatibility of Tow Ready # 118416 Trailer Wiring Harness on 2008 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited
  • The Tow Ready # 118416 Trailer Wiring Harness you mentioned is compatible with 2007-2015 Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited models. It would be the correct harness for your 2008 Wrangler Sahara Unlimited. If you click the provided link, you can see an install video showing the # 118416 being installed on a 2008 Wrangler. The procedure on your Wrangler Unlimited would be identical. If you haven't chosen a hitch for your Wrangler Unlimited yet, I'd recommend the Curt Class III hitch, part...

  • Other Vehicle Fits for the Blue Ox Base Plate on a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu
  • The Blue Ox Base Plate, # BX1679, that you referenced will fit on your new 2012 Chevrolet Malibu. It will not fit on a 2004 Chevrolet Malibu. You probably have either the Blue Ox Base Plate, # BX1648 for classic models or # BX1655 for regular or Maxx models. These are the only two Blue Ox Base plates we carry for the 2004 Malibu. The BX1648 base plate fits a number of vehicles. I have added a link to the product page where you can find all of the vehicle fits for this base plate. You...
