I cross both ways at Lewiston-Queenston fairly frequently - most recently this past weekend. Lately there have been no problems going either direction other than an occasional long (30+ minute) wait for customs inspection.

Since 9/11 we've been asked to produce photo ID's and vehicle papers re-entering NY state - there's signage instructing you to have this stuff ready when you reach the inspection booths. However my last few trips I've only been asked the routine questions about citizenship, duration of stay and if there were firearms on board. No showing of photo ID, passport, etc has been required.

Regarding carrying your car on board the truck, check both NY and Ontario V&T laws. With historical or AG plates there MAY restrictions on what can legally be transported, but I'm not certain.

Suggest also check with the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/index.html) whether you'll need to stop at truck weigh stations along your route.

Good luck! And fill your truck in Michigan - gas is more expensive north of the border!
