Expert Reply:
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 our most reliable converter box. The recommended ball mount is the part # 36071 and then for balls you'd want the part # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or part # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
