All excellent advice, thank you! I think I am going to go with my original plan, sell the Saturn in Ontario and buy a truck when I get to my destination city!
Rough: ahhh the e-test, I didn't even think about that, thank you! (Good thing I'm planning a year in advance, I'm finding out more and more things I need to do every day!)
Klown78: hmmm I should talk to you some more about your long-distance moving advice

(Why would you even leave BC for Ontario?!

)
inzomniac: that's really good advice, and yeah, I was pretty shocked at the prices when I was out there last week!!

There are dealerships that are entirely Ford F150's out there lol
Good luck in MB

Congrats on getting the hell outta here!
