I still rock an '06 Ram 2500 w/ 5.9 Cummins. @ 275K, I can't seem to kill this thing. It has a goose neck attached ~70% of the time. It is serviced religiously. Compared to the current generations of trucks rolling around, it's flat out archaic.
Now, I can't possibly make a blanket statement about all the GM/Ford's out there, but I can say from personal experience, many of the diesel versions of the other two from that era would have needed major work to get that many miles. My family business has >50 service trucks, covering all of the big 3. They all lived hard lives, and all had their problems.
