Sv233t

We have a 2009 SV233T. Bought it last Fall and only took it out once. I can't wait for the weather to break so we can get our season started!

Must be a Canadian thing as we have a rat dog to.

A "rat dog" is any dog whose back feet comes off the floor when it barks(squeaks)!

We have an 08 SV233t and really enjoy it. Bought it early 07 so this will be our third year in it. No major problems as of yet, but will check the axles. If it were 1/2 foot higher off the ground I wouldn't mind it.

JimChow,
We have a an SV291 and my ground clearance is not too great. I could use an extra four inches just so I won't cringe when pulling into gas stations with any kind of slope.

New 233t owner

We just purchased a 2005 used one and fell for it the first time we saw it! It is just off the showroom quality. Size is perfect for a family of 4 and a few friends. I only would like the heater to push air in the back and the fuse fan not to run so often. Otherwise it is stylish all the way and a great tow for a small truck. We did not notice the clearance problem but will look out for that.
