Expert Reply:
Yes, you can use one tow bar for multiple vehicles because tow bars are actually compatible with the base plates that fit vehicles instead of the vehicles themselves.
I recommend the Demco Excali-Bar III Non-Binding Tow Bar # DM9511013 which is compatible with both the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518290 that fits a 2017 Jeep Patriot (with manual transmission) and the Demco Classic Base Plate Kit # DM9518224 that fits a 2011 Chevy Malibu.
I have added a link to a video review of this tow bar for you to check out as well. If you need the other parts to flat tow these vehicles - wiring harnesses and a supplemental braking system, please let me know and I'll be happy to recommend the parts you need.
