The Kuat NV 2.0 2-Bike Platform Rack # NV22G referenced in your question should work great on your 2016 GMC Yukon XL that has a 2 inch trailer hitch receiver. This is a really nice platform rack with large cradles to accommodate a wide variety of tires, including those on fat bikes. This rack also features a hand-tightening cam system for a tool-free installation in your hitch. You simply turn the knob to tighten the rack inside the hitch and help eliminate rattle and noise. This rack can be folded away from your Yukon XL while the bikes are still loaded for easy rear cargo access. This model also includes hitch and cable locks to secure the bikes to the rack and the rack to your vehicle.

The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack when it is folded down is 10-1/2 inches. When the rack is folded up the distance is 7 inches. So you will just want to take some measurements from the hitch pin hole of your hitch to the outer edge of your bumper to ensure there will be no clearance issues.

I have attached a video review of this bike rack on a 2016 GMC Yukon for you to check out.
