I've used X-plan before, I used to get it from a company I worked for. In my case, it was for a vehicle already on the lot, but I had been able to log into an X-plan-specific build-and-price site and configure exactly the car I was ordering to get an idea of the price. It's based on a simple formula, don't remember exactly what it was but I'm sure you can find it.So one dealer has told me plainly that even though they honor x-plan pricing they can't show me the x-plan pricing sheet until the vehicle is invoiced and they get a VIN. Does this make any sense? that is a long ways away. Is this just an outright lie?
The reason a dealer would be saying this is (my understanding) there is supposed to be a vehicle on the lot before he gives you the official X Plan printout which calculates the exact price. In my case (again, years ago), that number ended up being slightly lower than I had calculated on the build and price site.
If you are worried the dealer is not being straight with you, have him print out an order confirmation, write "to be sold to customer at X Plan price once received", and you both sign. Pretty sure that would be upheld as a formal contract, or at least give the dealer enough incentive not to sell the truck out from under you - as has happed to a few unfortunate souls I've seen posting on here.
