The Ford Authority Take
Ford Transit sales maintained the status quo year-over-year, posting a minimal decline as FoMoCo continues to navigate ongoing supplier issues that have made it difficult to keep vehicle production at an appropriate level to answer demand. However, it’s worth noting that sales of the new all-electric E-Transit are adding incremental numbers to the Transit’s already healthy performance.
2023 Ford Transit Trail
Additionally, Ford will soon expand the Transit range to include the upcoming Transit Trail model, which could bolster its sales. Originally revealed for the European market back in June of 2020, the Transit Trail is a more rugged, off-road focused variant of The Blue Oval’s best-seller that debuted in November. We expect Ford Transit sales to continue to dominate its segment throughout 2023, thanks to its already healthy performance, its EV offering, and the addition of the upfit-ready Transit Trail.

Comments
I see GM is gaining ground I wonder at who’s expenses. I know many companies that have the transit their one complaint cannot get them fast enough….
FYI people cannot get enough GMC and CHEVY van either. If they were avaiable the sales would have been quite a bit better. The Gm twins are doing way better than the Ford or ProMaster, considering they are riding on the same platform for 3 decades.
And, it’s a darn good platform.
The chart actually shows GMC and CHEVY vans a close second of that ughlee thing called the Transheet. Still the BEST looking vans out there and very much proven.
And, fleet managers care not one single solitary thing about how a truck, van, or cutaway looks.
It’s consistency of product, getting to know the quirks and tricks to maintenance and longevity, availability of expendables like filters, and the availability and price of crash parts.
Basically TCO over beauty.
No surprise to me that the Transit outsells GM and Ram. Good design strong motor fair fuel mileage. It’s simply a better van.
