Documents Needed When Activating COPR
I'm driving to the US border tomorrow to begin my status as PR. Other than the COPR and my passport, are there any other documents I need?

You might want to take proof of funds just in case however as you have already provided them to CIC most CBSA officers doing landings when the person is already in Canada rarely ask for them as you have been granted PR status.

So nothing else? I'm family class so guessing I won't need proof of funds?

... plus goods accompanying.
I'd take proof of funds anyway, by way of a recent bank statement. Family class or not... if you are asked you'll have it to hand. If you don't need it.. hey! ho! No harm done.
Also.. check that the number they copy by hand from your COPR into your passport matches. They got one of ours wrong and that caused issues when registering for SIN's.
Congrats and good luck!
