The Ford Authority Take
We attribute the drop in Ford E-Series sales during Q1 2025 to availability issues impacting the timing of deliveries to fleet customers. In that regard, we fully expect sales to rebound in the coming quarters as availability improves (barring any unforeseen circumstances like supply chain and logistics disruptions, tariffs, or economic troubles that negatively impact demand).
The good news is that combining sales of the E-Series with those of the Ford Transit gave The Blue Oval nearly three-fifths of all deliveries in this space, putting crosstown rival GM far behind in second with the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. That relegates Ford’s other primary competitor, the Ram ProMaster, to a close third.
About Ford E-Series
Formerly called the Econoline van, the Ford E-Series was eventually replaced by the Transit and is now only sold as a chassis cab or stripped chassis configuration to underpin RV campers, ambulances, small buses, and other light-duty vehicles.
The current model remains largely unchanged, save for a few major updates such as the debut of the chassis cab variant five years ago.
The 2024 model year sees only minor changes. This includes the deletion of the Economy tune in favor of the naturally-aspirated Ford 7.3L V8 Godzilla engine. Moving forward, the E-Series will offer just one drivetrain calibration, with an output of 325 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, as its flex fuel capability option has also been eliminated from the lineup.
Ford E-series production will continue at the Ford Ohio Assembly plant until at least until April 2028, according to the deal that the United Auto Workers (UAW) secured with Ford.
