One supposed benefit is that it expands less with heat, so you supposedly see less tire pressure fluctuation from hot/cold shifts or if your heating up tires on the track.
In short, it'd be foolish to pay any extra for it.
That and doesn't lose pressure as much because the other gasses in the air have smaller molecules.

Tire rack seems to agree with our conclusions.

The other benefit is the nitrogen usually will have less water vapor than you capture with some air compressors. I'm fine with it when its free like at Costco.

Sorry to resurrect this old thread but I had a question about dealers in the Phoenix area and this seemed like a good place for it. I'm about to out down a deposit and am trying to find the best deal. Are any of the dealers offering X-plan pricing without any additional packages? I had contacted Chapman but they said they weren't honoring X-Play pricing. Thanks

Try contacting Kelly Cooper over there. The contact info is on the staff directory page on their web site.

I suspect other dealers are honoring x-plan, too... When you contact dealers, you'll want to first find out the names of their Mach-E specialists. Each dealer may have just 1-3 of them.

I have my order placed at Peoria Ford. John Stewart is the sales manager and is head of the Mach E sales. I was able to get in an email that my Mach E order is MSRP, no dealers add ons or mark-ups, no dealer packages, and IF x-plan is available, they will accept it.

Just remember, if you have placed your order online, and it was accepted by the dealer that you chose, then there is NO way of changing your dealer unless you cancel your order, pray for a $500 refund from them, and then step to the back of the line in placing your new order.

Yeah I always ask if the deposit is refundable when I talk to the dealers. Probably won't change my dealership but want the flexibility in case my wife or I lose our jobs before we get the car. I did talk to Kelly at Chapman Ford and she said they aren't honoring X-Plan. I'll be calling some other dealers later today. Thanks for letting me know about Peoria.

Uhhhhh.... Is this concerning to anyone else that ordered from Chapman Ford in Scottsdale? I haven't called back to talk to them yet, but this is the email I have from late June from Kelly:

"Thanks for choosing Chapman Ford as your preferred dealer.

My name is Kelly Cooper, I'm the Mach-E specialist here in Scottsdale!

We will not be adding an addendum to the price of the vehicle and you with proper documentation we can secure your X-Plan pricing when you finish your paperwork.

You will have the option to add dealer add-ons such as tint if you choose to do so.

Any other questions I can answer for you at this time?

I look forward to your reply."


I would sincerely hope that they don't state they are going to do the X-Plan pricing, and then after you're locked in take it away...

Updated 6/30/2020 with current pricing. The only one that has changed is Larry Miller Ford in Mesa.

To save you all some time, I checked each of the Phoenix area dealers by starting fake orders at ford.com.

Important reminder: Each dealer needs to be contacted to confirm terms of order, including refundability of deposit and presence of "required" add-ons such as "Desert Protection Package" and similar.

$500 order deposit, no difference from MSRP:
AutoNation Scottsdale
Bell
Camelback
Chapman
Don Sanderson
Earnhardt
Jones (both locations)
Peoria
Robert Horne
Rodeo
San Tan

$1500 order deposit, no difference from MSRP:
Larry Miller
I was at Camelback today. They tried to hit me with $5k ADM, but took it off when I told them no way. They also have a $1,500 add package which they cut to $400 when I said I wasn't interested. I may have been able to get them to a better number, but I don't know if I want a red one.
