VFACTS September 2021: Ranger maintains healthy sales lead in September

Some interesting movers and shakers in the new 4×4 sales charts during September, as supply issues affect some manufacturers worse than others and a few new models arrive on the scene.

While it’s business as usual at the top of the charts – with the Ford Ranger topping the monthly and year-to-date charts with Hilux in tow – the previously number three place-getter, Mitsubishi’s Triton ute, has tanked to just 384 sales for the month.

Likewise, the LandCruiser 200 Series has dropped off the monthly chart as its stocks have run out; and with full supplies of the LC300 interrupted, Toyota will be suffering a bit.

It does give Nissan a small victory as its Patrol outsold Cruiser 700 units to 27, but we’re hearing that supply of the big Nissan will come under threat over the coming months as well. So it might pay to jump in now if you’re after a Patrol Y62.

Isuzu’s new MU-X is making its mark, selling 1297 units for the month and climbing in to the year-to-date table; while the D-MAX continues its solid sales while also battling supply limitations.

Meanwhile, it was a good month for VW Amarok, bringing in more than 1000 sales. It might be the best-performing ute on the road but it still can’t keep up in sales-chart standings.
