• Recommended Kayak Rack That Can Hold At Least 3 Kayaks On A 2013 Hyundai Accent SE
• For your 2013 Hyundai Accent SE I recommend the: -Thule The Stacker # TH830. This kayak holder can support up to 4 kayaks, has a weight capacity of 75-lbs, and will fit most factory installed luggage racks as well as Thule square, Rapid Aero AeroBlade load bars and Yakima bars. Additionally, if your kayak is longer than 10' and/or want to use a wider kayak, then you're going to want to use the Thule Hull-A-Port Aero Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # TH849000 or # TH834 instead.

• Can a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu Tow a Trailer
• I'm unable to access an online version of the owner's manual for your 2007 Chevrolet Malibu. But if it says it shouldn't be used for towing then I can't recommend going against the manufacturer's recommendations. We do have trailer hitch receivers that will fit your car, like the Curt # C12272. Keep in mind this hitch fits model years 2004 through 2008 of the Malibu so the user reviews might be from a different model year than yours that can be used to tow. Also, hitch receivers can...

• Options for Installing RV Controlled Lights on a 2017 Chevy Malibu Being Dolly Towed
• You have a couple options for how to run your RV's tail lights when dolly towing your 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. The simplest option would be to install the Heavy Duty Magnetic Tow Lights - 20' Wiring Harness with 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector item # TL21RK. These lights have a magnetic base that will attach the lights to your trunk and then you will run the wiring harness over the top of your car and plug directly into the 4-way connector on your motorhome. This is the simplest and least invasive...

• Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Chevrolet Malibu with a StowMaster Tow Bar
• To flat tow your 2008 Chevy Malibu with a Roadmaster StowMaster tow bar, you will first want to add a set of base plates. Since you will be using a StowMaster tow bar, I recommend installing the Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, # 523145-5. The Quick Disconnects, # RM-222, are required for the StowMaster tow bar to connect to the base plate. If your StowMaster tow bar does not have the vehicle side Quick Disconnects, then you will need those as well. I also recommend checking your owners manual...

• Fuse Bypasses Needed to Flat Tow 2014 Chevy Malibu Behind RV

These bypasses are compatible with the ATM mini fuses used by your Malibu. To see install details and an install video, click the links I've provided for you.

• Hitch Receiver for Towing a Lawn Mower Trailer w/ a 2019 Chevrolet Malibu
• 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...

• Trailer Hitch for Carrying Mobility Scooter with 2014 Chevy Malibu
• Because the 2014 Chevy Malibu uses a Class II hitch like the Curt # C12115 that has a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening, it wouldn't be a good vehicle to carry a mobility scooter with, unless you can find one that's compatible with a 1-1/4 inch hitch. Unfortunately, all the scooter carriers we offer are only compatible with a 2 inch receiver. The best solution I could offer would be a small trailer like # K2MMT4X6. To equip your Malibu for towing, in addition to the hitch you'll also need a...

• Base Plates and Equipment Necessary to Flat Tow 2003 Chevy Malibu Behind a Motorhome
• We offer a Roadmaster base plate, part # 194-3 that's compatible with your 2003 Chevy Malibu. To use the 194-3 base plate with the # 63180 tow bar you mentioned, you'll need an adapter, part # RM-025. FYI, the # 63180 tow bar you referred to is only rated for 45 mph. My research indicates that your Malibu is capable of being flat towed, but there are specific procedures listed in the owner's manual that need to be followed closely. GM doesn't recommend towing at speeds greater than 65 mph. If...
