I’ve had the chance to drive both the Gen 2 and Gen 3 Coyotes, and there are definitely some noticeable differences. The Gen 3 engine, which came out in 2018, has a bit more power and revs higher thanks to some upgrades like direct and port injection and a higher compression ratio. You can feel the extra power, especially at higher RPMs.
As for reliability, both engines are solid, but the Gen 3 benefits from the newer technology and seems to be just as dependable, if not slightly better in some aspects due to the updates. If you’re looking for a noticeable performance boost and don’t mind the upgrade, the Gen 3 is worth considering. However, if you’re happy with your Gen 2 and aren’t chasing those extra few horses, you might not find the upgrade necessary.
