If you are looking for a trunk mounted bike rack to use on your 2015 GMC Acadia then I recommend using the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. Not only can it hold up to 3 bikes, but it also has a locking system that secures your bikes to your rack and your rack to your vehicle to help deter theft. This rack is very easy to install and remove as well.
To make sure that your kid's bikes will hang level with the ground and in case you have any alternative or women's style bikes that you would like to use with either of these bike racks, I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Adapter Bar # 64005. This creates a top rail between the seat and handlebars.
If you need a hitch for your Acadia, Draw-Tite offers a Hitch # 75528 which will work very well for this application.
I have attached some demonstration and install videos for you as well.
