The Toyota-level reliability returns for Tahoes and Yukons were coming around 5 or 6 years ago. They aren't as good presently with the new models.
GM and Toyota had the same thing going for them at that point in time, that they both had a full-size SUV rolling with old, proven technology. Toyota does this all the time, as a matter of organizational strategy, which is one reason we haven't seen a new 4Runner since 2010 or whatever. And the 4Runner we do see finally got Apple Carplay in it maybe two model years ago.
Both manufacturers have new models out that by comparison are pretty high tech (though most of the GM engines I think are mainly evolutionary). They are both going to see an increase in service needs inevitably. The question is whether either will become "unreliable" in the sense that the maintenance needs start to define a typical owner's experience with the vehicles. I doubt it.
