It's not legal to drive a rental from Canada across the border. At least not a small truck. I know because I tried.
A few years back while coming through Canada, on the way home to New York, my diesel Ford F250 sprung a massive transmission leak. We just barely made it to the Best Western motel in London, Ontario. I had my wife, kid and a sick dog with us. Truck had a slide-on camper and was heavily loaded with gear.
So, what do you do? I decided to leave the truck behind. Maybe sell it "as is". Then rent a truck, put a my camper on it, and drive home.
To my surprise, it's not legal. Only way we were allowed to do was to rent two trucks. One in Canada. Then when we got to the NY border, we'd have to rent another truck in the USA and transfer all the gear, camper etc. Also required a lot of paperwork.
It had my head spinning and I gave up on that idea. I bought two 5 gallon pails of transmission fluid, left my family at the Best Western, and me and my dog drove all around the London area, leaving an oil slick everywhere we went. I finally found a small two-man transmission shop in London called the "Transmission Man." Really nice guys. They dropped all their scheduled appointments and worked on my truck until 7:00 PM that night. Then when all done, I tried to give each guy a $100 tip and neither would accept it. Those guys were great. Drove home the next day. Total repair on the E40D trans was $800, which is also amazing.

One of the great things about working on a tractor engine with your other half is that you know what he is thinking of at all times and can anticipate his every move and his next thought of what he will do. With Ben, anyway, I can tell! He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
