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...
All of the hitches we offer for your 2010 Chevy Malibu are going to be too light duty to carry a motorcycle carrier. Motorcycle carriers require the 2 inch hitch size and for smaller vehicles like yours there are only 1-1/4 inch hitches available like the Draw Tite part # 36479. With your vehicle best solution would be to tow a small trailer. To do that you'd also need trailer wiring like the Tekonsha kit part # 118450 as well. view full answer...
Looks like your 2018 Chevy Malibu has a towing capacity of 1,000 lbs so as long as your small trailer stays under that you'd be fine. You'd need a trailer hitch installed which for that I recommend the Draw Tite part # 36652 because it has more capacity than you'd need and only has the hitch opening visible below the rear bumper which makes easier on the eyes.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118689 because it does not require splicing into your vehicle wiring and comes with... view full answer...
The Roadmaster Tow Dolly with Electric Brakes - 4,250 lbs # RM-2050-1 you were looking at does not come assembled that way it can better fit in a box to be shipped to you.
The included instructions do a great job of going over how to assemble the tow dolly, but if you are not comfortable doing this kind of work a local automotive repair shop or trailer shop would be able to assemble it for you.
I included a video review of the # RM-2050-1 and a link to the written instructions for you... view full answer...
The SportRack Trunk Mounted 3 Bike Carrier, # SR3152, is designed to fit as many vehicles as possible but there is not a list of vehicles that it does fit, so I cannot say that for sure it will fit or not. However, this bike rack is a lot like the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV, and the Thule Passage, # TH910XT; both of which will fit your 2003 Chevy Malibu. So while it is likely that it will fit, I cannot say that it is a definite fit.
The weight capacity for this rack is 105 lbs. You should... view full answer...
On your 1999 Holiday Rambler Endeavor, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 for a brake controller and then using the custom wiring harness # 3035-P. The square connector does have a blue wire that is the trailer brake output wire. view full answer...
The absolute best trunk bike rack for your 2016 Chevy Malibu is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634. Not only does it include a interlocking HUB that lets you customize the tension for a perfect fit on your trunk, it also comes loaded with an integrated cable lock and a steel-reinforced security strap that protects both your bikes and the rack from theft. As far as weight capacity, it accommodates bikes up to 35 pounds.

The Roadmaster EZ Base Plate Kit, part # 523120-1 is designed to fit a Chevrolet Malibu from 2004 to 2008 only, and will not work on your 2012, but we do have a base plate kit that will work great for you.
I recommend part # 523145-5. When installed, and the drawbars are removed, this system is nearly invisible. These base plates are compatible with all Roadmaster tow bars.

Discontinued trailer hitch 90237 fits the 2014 Chevy Impala LS, LT, and LTZ models but your 2015 Chevy Malibu will require a different hitch. For your Malibu LT you can use Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 36538.
For the correct ball mount use # 36061. To add a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for a trailer wiring harness use # C56176 (fits US models excluding the LTZ). view full answer...
My personal recommendation is for the Swift Hitch Wireless Hitch Aligner System, # SH03D, which is a 2-camera wireless system and features automatic night vision. One camera could be mounted to your Chevrolet Duramax Truck to assist with hitching up your fifth wheel and the other could be used at the back of your trailer.
With cameras having a radio frequency transmission distance of at least 200 ft, the length of your truck and trailer will be no problem.

Yes, the Longview Towing Mirrors part # LVT-1800 that you referenced have been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 so they would work well for you.

I have a solution for you, but the Pro Series Weight Distribution System part # 49570 that you referenced is not recommended for use with surge brakes if you are using a sway control bar like # 83660.
Instead, for a similar rated system that would be compatible you would want the Reese SC Weight Distribution system part # RP66560. This system has a tongue weight range of 600 lbs - 1,200 lbs.
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight... view full answer...
It sounds like you are talking about a regular trailer wiring harness used to power trailer lights if your 2014 Chevy Malibu was to tow a trailer. There aren't any tow bar wiring harnesses (to tow the vehicle behind an RV) that require a direct connection to the vehicle battery that I am aware of.
The regular trailer wiring harnesses cannot be used as tow bar wiring harnesses. They do not allow power to flow through them backwards. The actual tow bar wiring harnesses available for your... view full answer...
I have a solution for you but the # PW1038 is not going to provide you with the needed clearance. It requires 15 mm clearance and your 2016 Chevy Malibu only has 12 mm of clearance to work with.
The best solution I can recommend is the K-Summit Chains part # TH02230K44 as they do not go over the inner shoulder of the tire so no clearance is required. view full answer...
The adapter you need is the part # 20036 which will convert your vehicle's 4-way to a 5-way. The 5th pin will get ran to the reverse light circuit of your vehicle. 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...
The best trailer hitch receiver we have for your 2014 Chevrolet Malibu LS is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 36538. It is a custom fit that will install using pre drilled holes. It has a class I rating with a 1-1/4" receiver tube opening. As you can see from the attached video, it is fairly simple to install taking most around 50 minutes.
The best trailer wiring harness we have for you is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118576. This... view full answer...
We have plenty of kits that will work great for your 2018 Chevrolet Malibu. I recommend the Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426, BaseLine Towers # Y28TR, and BaseClip Fit Kit # Y06123. These components will make up your roof rack.
As far as a kayak rack to haul your kayaks, the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier # e98878 is a great option because it comes with straps to tie your kayaks to the carrier and bow/stern straps with anchors. You would need two kits, one for each kayak.

If you are looking for a hitch receiver for your 1997 Chevrolet Malibu, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class II - 1-1/4" # C12027. This is a class II hitch receiver that will give you a few more options for accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers than a class I will give you.
The draw bar is also called a ball mount. This is the metal shank that will go between your hitch receiver and your trailer that will hold the hitch ball in place. For this hitch receiver,... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C12115 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Chevy Malibu only if it's a Limited model. The install video that you referenced (which is attached to this page) would show the install process exactly as it would be on your 2016 model.
If you have a non-Limited model you would need the part # C12185 instead. We don't have an install video for this hitch but I did attach install instructions. view full answer...
