Gorden, you need to work on your thread titles, and putting more description in your initial posts.
Are you asking IF the tires have nitrogen in then,
OR
asking if you CAN put nitrogen in them,
OR,
giving advice about how we should refil our tires?
I am so confused. However, there are many threads on the topic of nitrogen, it's benefits, drawbacks and value. I doubt that we'll find any new info in yet another thread.

Do the valve caps say they have nitrogen in them? I have had several vehicles with chrome valve caps and none of them say boo about nitrogen. Nor was there nitrogen in the tires.

Yep. Clearly the owner's manual expects air in the tires.

Sir, I have a lot full of 2015 F150s and they all have cheap black plastic caps for regular air from the factory. There are plenty of threads about using Nitrogen, but unless you are doing some sort of competitive driving, it would pretty much be a waste. Think about it, regular air is 78% nitrogen anyway. So you're paying more for the last 22%.
AND... If you believe that the dealership is removing all the air and filling them with nitrogen, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. I'd bet they are just topping off with nitrogen and adding green caps.

In this case it is chrome caps that say Nitrogen, but is the same difference. As you said, the trucks come from the factory with air and some dealers add nitrogen and caps and jack the price up. What a rip-off.
