Need Flexible Capacity for Riders and Wheelchairs? The Starcraft Allstar on Ford E450 Delivers.

When you're looking for a transit solution that accommodates a wide range of mobility needs—whether for school systems, churches, senior communities, or commercial fleets—the Starcraft Allstar on the Ford E450 chassis is the trusted choice. Designed with multiple floorplans and ADA-compliant options, the Allstar offers unmatched versatility, including the highly requested 8 passengers plus 4 wheelchair stations configuration. But that’s just one of many layouts available.

Built for performance, reliability, and comfort, the Allstar is available now at Colonial Bus—eliminating long manufacturer wait times and getting your organization on the road faster.

Built for Real-World Versatility

The Starcraft Allstar remains one of North America’s most popular shuttle buses due to its rugged construction, advanced safety features, and flexible design. With models ranging from 20 to 25 feet in length and built with steel cage reinforcement, the Allstar ensures the safety and comfort of every passenger.

Seating options are highly customizable, giving you the flexibility to adapt your vehicle to meet exact transportation goals. Whether your priority is maximum passenger capacity, rear luggage storage, or full ADA accessibility, there’s a floorplan that fits your operation.

Common configurations include:

  • 8 passengers + 4 wheelchair stations + driver

  • 12 passengers + 2 wheelchair stations + driver

  • 16 passengers + 2 wheelchair stations + driver

  • 20 passengers with interior luggage

  • 25 passenger capacity with no wheelchair stations

Additional features include flip seats, overhead parcel racks, audio/PA systems, and Altro or transit-grade flooring. This wide range of configurations and add-ons makes the Allstar a true multi-purpose solution across various industries.

Reliable Ford E450 Foundation

Every Allstar model is mounted on the time-tested Ford E450 cutaway chassis, known for long-lasting durability and wide parts availability. The 7.3L V8 gasoline engine is engineered for high-demand fleet operations, with a Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) of up to 14,500 lbs.

Core performance and safety features include:

  • ADA rear wheelchair lift (positioned safely over the rear axle)

  • Electric double entry doors

  • Backup camera and wide-angle mirrors

  • LED interior and exterior lighting

  • High-capacity HVAC systems

  • Freedman seating in vinyl or cloth upholstery

The E450 also provides easier service access and maintenance compared to diesel platforms, reducing long-term operating costs for busy organizations.

Tailored for Schools, Churches, and Fleets

The Allstar is a practical and professional solution for institutions that need flexibility, dependability, and compliance—all in one vehicle.

  • Schools use the Allstar for field trips, inter-campus transportation, or after-school activity transport. Flip-seat models accommodate wheelchair users and walking students in a single route.

  • Churches rely on the Allstar for senior ministries, youth events, and Sunday service routes. The spacious interior and easy entry make it welcoming for all age groups.

  • Fleet Operators across paratransit, municipal, and healthcare sectors trust the Allstar for its accessible design, dependable Ford platform, and capacity flexibility.

In every case, the Allstar is engineered to reduce downtime, improve boarding efficiency, and keep passengers safe.
