I found it better to get a table-top version and a fold up table. Much easier to load into a non-pickup vehicle.
Also, the metal on this is paper-thin, and the way it is manufactured the parts are not replaceable. Pretty much a disposable grill once the paper-thin sheet metal starts to rust away. I definitely wouldn't keep this thing outdoors. Use it, clean it up good, and store inside enclosed garage.
Many negatives to this grill. However, the one redeeming part of this grill is that it has a really nice, heavy, cast iron grate. Nice heat retention and nice grill marks.

It's long (look at the picture of the guy wheeling it, and that is a tall guy, and it is held at an angle). Now, stand that grill straight up-and-down it would be taller than waist high.
Awkward to load, almost a 2 person job to lift it and load it.
Really flimsy construction. If you wheel it on bumpy surface, it will rattle apart, have to wheel it slow.
The way the legs fold out, it always wants to "fall" when you unfold it. You open it up to grill, and SLAM... The scissor legs fall down flat.
The paper thin sheet metal is riveted together in many places with small/cheap rivets. That will pop open.
Also, have to screw in the propane bottle very carefully. The regulator on it is really cheap pot metal, and the threads strip easily. Oh, and guess what, the way the regulator is built into the unit it can't be replaced. So if you strip it, the grill is now garbage.
The list could go on longer.
If you get it, I would recommend using it, load and unload into your vehicle, roll it around your backyard or neighborhood. Use it and abuse it, and put it through its paces during the 30-day return period. So you know if this going to work for you.

I would pass on this model. If you do get it, I recommend an adapter & regulator (carefully inserted) and a hose to allow larger tanks and avoid the awkward, easy-stripped stock one.
*Update: Code SPRING seems to not work for the grill.

Don't waste your time on anything but Weber or Napoleon when it comes to travel grills. And really just Weber
For the price here, get you a Weber Go Anywhere gas.
It's been great for my use cases and no signs of rust or excessive wear! I only have a mid size SUV and it fits in the back along with a large cooler and everything else needed for a family of 4 on a 3 day tent camping trip. I like having something with its own stand so it doesn't take up picnic table space when out camping And I can keep any smoke away from others sitting/eating. The cast iron grates are excellent and you can buy a smooth flat griddle insert for eggs/pancakes etc. Don't listen to the negative reviews on this! I got mine for around $120 from bed bath & beyond.
