Compared to the "GM Gray #1" plastic crap that GM's been churning out the last decade or so? For the most part, yes.
Why, for example, is the steering wheel offset 1-2" to the left in EVERY SINGLE ONE of the last generation GM full sized trucks and SUVs? And WHY did they make the dash out of such cheap plastic that it starts cracking in two years?
Ford at least seems to have a bit of a clue - they make their interiors out of more durable materials that don't scream "I BOUGHT MY PLASTIC FROM THE CHEAPEST CHINESE VENDOR EVER!!!!" Chrysler has good interiors as well, usually better than Ford's.
The Japanese tend to be mixed on their interior design, but they usually use materials that hold up more than 24 months and they're generally acceptable in terms of their design.

I haven't looked at the new ones but I had a '74 Ford F-100 that I drove about 175 thousand miles with almost no problems and sold it to my brother who drove it another 75 thousand or so. It was the cheap model custom cab but the seat was still good when my brother junked it. The low end GM pickups that year had a seat good for maybe 30,000 miles before the springs popped through. There was absolutely no comparison, the Ford was superior all the way around. I have an 89 F-150 Lariat now with 200,000 on it and the seat is almost as good as new. I have found the Ford pickups to be very reliable. I know there are a lot of people who say otherwise but I can only judge by my own experience. I have had GM cars and my experience with them boils down to "the engine lasted forever but everything else was garbage", bad paint, bad transmissions, poor interiors etc. I bought a 1980 Pontiac Pheonix x-body car new, it had a four speed manual and the four cylinder "iron duke" engine. I think the engine was built for eternity but the transmission went out at just past 30,000. The heater core didn't last 20,000 miles, the trunk lid had some kind of defect in the metal so that even stripping and repainting didn't fix the problem in the paint, little fasteners and such kept falling out from under the dash, the whole interior was shoddy. I loved the way it drove and handled and I ran it to 126,000 miles and sold it. I swear the engine was better when I sold it than when it was new but I had so many other problems I wished I could find a decent Ford and put that engine in it.
