Does Ford still make the E-series?
No. Ford does not currently produce a new E-Series van; the E-Series was discontinued in the North American market after the 2014 model year and has been replaced by the Transit.
The E-Series (often called Econoline) was a long-running line of full-size vans used by fleets, contractors, and large households. This article explains the current status, why Ford ended the line, and what buyers should consider today.
The fate of the E-Series
Ford shifted its North American van lineup away from the E-Series in the mid-2010s, consolidating on the Ford Transit as the standard full-size van. Since the 2014 model year, no new E-Series vans have been built for the U.S. or Canadian markets. Surviving E-Series units remain on fleets and in the used-vehicle market, while Ford continues to develop the Transit family for modern needs.
Below are the key points that define the E-Series' status in the market today.
- End of new-model production in North America: The E-Series was discontinued after the 2014 model year in the U.S. and Canada.
- Transit replacement: The Ford Transit became the standard full-size van in North America, offering similar capacity with modern design, safety tech, and efficiency options.
- Used-vehicle presence: Surviving E-Series vans exist in the used market, especially with fleets upgrading to the Transit.
- Global markets vary: Ford's van lineup outside North America has depended on local models and may not use the E-Series designation, focusing on Transit-based vehicles.
In practice, Ford does not offer a new E-Series van today in major markets, and the E-Series remains a historical designation rather than a current product line. The name may appear on older stock or in the used-vehicle market, but not on new factory orders.
What Ford offers today in North America
Today, buyers looking for a Ford full-size van in North America should consider the Transit family, which includes cargo and passenger configurations, as well as the electric e-Transit in eligible markets. Ford also sells the smaller Transit Connect for lighter-duty van needs, especially in urban and smaller-business applications.
- Ford Transit Cargo Van: Large, configurable interior for cargo or conversion van applications.
- Ford Transit Passenger Van: Seats multiple passengers with flexible seating and cargo space.
- Ford Transit Connect: Smaller, maneuverable van suitable for urban delivery and service roles.
- Ford E-Transit (electric): Battery-electric version of the Transit lineup offered in some markets, enabling zero-emission operation.
Before listing current options, here is a quick framing of what is available now:
In practice, the Transit family is the backbone of Ford's van strategy, with trims and configurations designed for fleets, commercial customers, and specialty uses.
Summary
Ford no longer produces the E-Series for new buyers in North America. Since 2014, the Transit has served as Ford's flagship full-size van, delivering comparable capacity with modern tech and efficiency. For those seeking a Ford van today, the Transit line—and its electric variant, the e-Transit in eligible markets—are the current standard. The E-Series remains a part of Ford's historical lineup and the used-vehicle market rather than a current model.
