What is the hierarchy of Montana 5th wheels?

What is the hierarchy of Montana 5th wheels? I see the Montana, the Montana Big Sky, and Montana Mountaineer Edition. Are they all comparable quality, just different floor plans, or what?

Basically it's Mountaineer, Montana, the Montana Big Sky.

If you take the "regular" Montana as the base line, the Mountaineer has a few less options, the Big Sky has a few more. Not sure where the High Country falls in. I cannot find a list of what the Montana has over the Mountaineer, but the Big Sky has in addition to the Montana items:

Full body paint (Black & Grey or Black & Tan)
6-Point hydraulic auto-leveling system
“G” Range tires and rims
One piece fiberglass shower with radius enclosure (not available 3402, 3582)
Metal wrapped awning

To get the best overview, go to each one on the Keystone site, then look at "options" for each one. For example, shows the Mountaineer you can get wiring for 2nd AC unit, whereas the Montana you can actually order the 2nd AC unit. Can get leather with Montana, built-in vacuum, etc. which are not available on the Mountaineer. Once you look at those you will see which ones come with or have options above the other models.

"Big Sky" is a package added to Montana and makes it a cut above. "Mountaineer" is as someone else here put it, much lighter and far less expensive. "High Country" is a new line , a lot less expensive and much lighter . "Montana" is the # 1 seller in the nation and has been for several years. It is about what you want , they are separated enough to get market saturation. I believe you are savvy and will decide for
Yourselves what you will spend your money on. Larry

A reminder on older units, like our 09, Big Sky was not a package. It was a separate top of the line model with upgrades not available on regular Montana's. I think they changed to package status in 2011.

Go to the Keystone web site, they are listed by price/quality.
