What Is The Starcraft MVP
The Starcraft MVP offers the most capacity available on a Ford cutaway chassis. With seating for up to 28 passengers or 24 passengers plus a rear luggage area, the MVP delivers the capacity you need without stepping up to a larger, heavier bus platform.
Built on the proven Ford E-450 chassis, the MVP features the same fully welded steel cage construction and rigorous safety testing that Starcraft is known for. One-piece fiberglass front and rear caps, LED interior and exterior lighting, and a standard exterior graphics package give the MVP a polished, professional appearance right off the lot.
If your organization needs maximum seating on a single Ford cutaway — whether for church groups, employee shuttles, or senior transportation — the Starcraft MVP is the right bus for the job.
