Will The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36653 Fit a 2017 Chevrolet Malibu With Dual Exhaust?
Question:
I have a 2017 Malibu premier with dual exhaust. Will this effect the mounting of hitch?

Helpful Expert Reply:
You will be able to still install the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36652 on your 2017 Chevrolet Malibu with the dual exhaust. I have linked the installation instructions below which show the installation being performed on a Buick Regal which has a dual exhaust. The only real difference from our installation video linked below is going to be the additional hanger on the passenger side for the 2nd exhaust.
I do recommend installing the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56313 with the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is most commonly found on small trailers you might tow. It will also allow for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you are using a hitch mounted accessory which could impair the view of your tail lights to other drivers.
