Not a serious problem.
The LAV 25 is first generation. It is amphibious. The USMC use them and are now currently looking at replacing them.
The Coyote is second generation. It can not swim, which many of us who have done Recce feel is a requirement. We are the only ones using it. It has sever limitations in what it can do in the Recce role. It has a marvelous surveillance suite, but is not a Recce vehicle.
The LAV III is used by the Infantry. It is much quieter than the Coyote, but also much larger. The US Army has bought a different variant of this vehicle and call it the Stryker.
Like the Bison and other variants of the Second Generation of LAV, which we do not go around calling LAV IIs, we do not call our LAV IIIs Strykers. They are a different breed.
