The only available trailer hitch for a 2007 Chevrolet Malibu (All Models) is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C12272 which is a class II rated hitch. Therefore, no you cannot use a class III hitch on a Chevrolet Malibu which is the case for a lot of these smaller vehicles because they simply don't make one for them due to the limited capacities.

That said, if you have class III accessories that you want to use there is still an option in the Tow Ready Trailer Hitch Receiver Adapter part # 80303 which convert the 1-1/4" opening above to 2" for use with class III accessories but keep in mind of the weight restrictions while using said adapters. Your hitch capacity will be cut in half.
