A standard 2" receiving hitch on the vehicle is a must for this tailgating grill because of its rather unique design - it rides on the hitch and swings around for use once parked. Fueled by propane, it has a large grilling surface and ample power with 20,000 BTU's - more than enough for all those tailgate burgers. A great cooking companion for the outdoorsy type.
