Possibly the new Tag Axel Berkshire? Not sure what you mean by Executive? The most "Expensive" FR MH is a Charleston if that helps.

My son said he saw something about MH on RV the other night and they said it was a FR Executive. I thought the Berkshire was the most expensive. Did not know the Charleston is more expensive.

Yeah, the Charleston is about $100K more than a Berkie - although the new Tag Axel Berkie is more expensive than the base Charleston.
I, for one, would like a knowledgeable MH owner to point out the diffrences between a C-Town & a Berkie

I believe one more axle, 4 more feet in length, one more slide and $100,000 more sticker! More HP, more....

That's just it. As of the new model year, the lines blur.
The new Berkie XLT is 7" shorter than the C-town and has a tag axle blieve the HP i the same as well.
Makes me wonder if the C-town is on the way out....

Executive MH
The Charleston is going to be redone for 2017. It will include AquaHot for the first time and will be all electric. No more LP. New front and rear cap and upgraded interior. The Berkshire will not take the place if the Charleston even with the tag option. It will be designed to be just below in price and amenities.
Comparing the Berkshire and the Charleston used to be much easier but now with the option tag I agree it is confusing. Both are very nice MH's.
I have never heard of the Executive MH. The Berkshire came to life in 2008 when FR revamped the line. The Charleston was the lower value to the Tsunami and was a single axle. The Charleston was moved to the top line and got a tag and the Tsunami was dropped and the Berkshire was added. The first production year for the Berkshire was 2008 and has had many different configurations. The Berkshire has had a Mercedes engine before the Cummins and I have heard of a couple that were built with a cummins ISL motor but not sure about that.
The Berkshire is a starter MH by most accounts. It is for me but it's a starter and a ender. I love mine a lot and I plan on just wearing it out over the years.

I noted a year or so ago that Prevost builds a fleet of "Executive" buses, 45' length, couple of slides and lots of furniture grade woods. There's no beds or Kitchen, it's purpose is an "Executive mobile office" 1.5 million, cheap!
