It sounds like you're likely looking for a trunk mounted bike rack, so I recommend using the Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # TH88VR which is a confirmed fit on your 2009 GMC Acadia. The Gateway uses anti-sway cradles that securely hold bikes at 3 points, so this rack does a great job at minimizing sway during travel. I also really like that this rack comes with a cable lock to secure your bikes to the rack and a locking cable to secure the rack to the vehicle, so your investments are always secured.

I've linked a review video and a road test video of this rack for you to check out.

Yes, you can load women's and children's bikes on the Yakiam FullBack #Y02634. But any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar #64005. This…
