Although the Ford E-Series van and wagon sales have been discontinued, the E-Series cutaway and chassis sales continue firmly in third place. The Ram ProMaster continues sales momentum with another strong month. It is locked in battle with the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter for the fourth place.

The Nissan NV outsold the GMC Savana nearly two to one. The Savana is seeing a dramatic decline in September as well.
