The reason is the 2019 and 2020 are considered a 2nd gen version motor and in theory more reliable. However Ford is rather vague on what the improvements were. The reason the car was discontinued was due to the GT500 release in 2020.

Yeah, that's right. There was an overlap of the GT350 with the new GT500. I was at Barrett Jackson when Raj Nair said there would only be one Shelby branded Mustang at a time, so I was surprised when the GT350 continued.
Early instances of the GT350 had some issues with
oil consumption. Ford said a quart every 1000 miles was normal and that those who had issues had ignored the strict break in rules. Some used much more than that. A few got new engines. The "Gen2 engine" was really the version used in the GT350R (ie, there was only one version in the last two years.)
I've heard one - it does sound awesome.
