Nitrofill from Ford?

I just bought a new 2009 F-350 and today while cleaning the wheels I noticed all the valve stems had the "nitrofill" logo's on them. Did Ford start sending trucks to dealers with nitrogen filled tires or is this some dealer thing? The dealership located this truck for me and had it brought in so it was not my purchasing dealer who might have had this done.

I never have any plans of paying for tire rotations and when I adjust tire pressures from front to back I will be using 80% nitrogen instead of 100%.

Any thoughts?

I think the biggest difference with 100% nitrogen is it's drier. Sure the lack of O2 etc helps some, but you gotta do what you gotta do. There are proven benefits, but how much will it really hurt you to top off with regular air? Not much in IMO.

On nitrofill's website I searched for dealers and my Ford dealer is listed so maybe they did the nitrogen.

Interesting.

Maybe I will stick with 100% Nitrogen afterall.
