Can 2019 Chevy Malibu be Flat Towed
Question:
Is flat towing a 2019-20 Chevy Malibu 2.0L possible? The owners manual says that the 2.0L can be flat towed. But Ive heard that Chevy issued a owners manual supplement that states, no 2019-2020 Malibu are flat towable. Is this correct?

I checked the online version of the owner's manual for a 2019 Chevy Malibu, and you are correct that it was updated. The owner's manual states that the vehicle cannot be towed with all four wheels on the ground. However, it does state that a tow dolly can be used, so long as the front wheels are on the dolly.
For a tow dolly that will allow you to tow your 2019 Chevy Malibu I recommend an option from Demco:
- Demco Kar Kaddy SS Tow Dolly # DM9713045
- Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093
These are by far the best option because because of how simple they are to use than other tow dollies. The Kar Kaddy X tilts down and the Kar Kaddy SS has a ramp so you can simply drive up the dolly and secure your car on it. The SS ramps also fold up and it has a stow-away tongue which makes it the easiest dolly to store.
Both dollies also have a simple surge coupler to activate their hydraulic disc brakes so there is no messy wiring to worry about like with dollies that use electric brakes.
