The block is stronger and they have have held more power in stock configuration, but there have been many more general complaints with the 3rd gen Coyotes, and more random failures. The ticking issue has yet to be resolved, and engines are failing in stock form at a higher rate then the gen 2’s.
Im not trying to discourage anyone from getting one, but informed decision making is important. Me personally I’d be looking at a 2020 if I was on the market now but didn’t need one ASAP....this would be in the hopes Ford does some updates to resolve the current issues with the 18 models.
the gen 2’s have proven reliable and can still support 800hp, and conveniently they come with the slightly larger oil pump gear that was in the 15-17 mustangs.

I just test drove a 2016 F150 Platinum whippled, and to be honest I wasn't as impressed I thought I would be. Yes, it was fast, but not enough difference to spend $10k+ to get. The 5.0 sounded really good too. It's still for sale in the Las Vegas craigslist if anyone is interested.
