The bike rack that I think you will be really happy with is the Thule Apex 4 Bike Rack, # TH9025XT. This is one of the most popular bike racks among our Buick Enclave customers and Thule is one of the leading manufacturers. Also, using a bike rack with a 4 bike capacity will make it much easier to load 3 women's bikes, especially if you have to use an adapter bar like part # TH982XT.
I have attached a review video of this bike rack on a Buick Enclave for you to check out. I have also attached a review video of the adapter bar. This bar is used on bikes that do not have a traditional horizontal top frame tube to sit on the bike rack arms. It is often used on women's, children's and alternative frame bikes.
If price is more of a concern, another bike rack you might be interested in is the Swagman Trailhead 3 Bike Rack, # S63365. This is a more economical bike rack with many similar features to the Vertex and all of the features you are looking for. I have attached a review video for this bike rack as well.
We have several 3 bike options available. I have attached a link to all of our hitch mount bike racks for you to check out. If you have a question on another bike rack just let me know.
