How do you like your 2019 RAM 1500?
Does anyone own the new 2019 RAM 1500? If so how do you like it? Has it had any issues? Thanks

It's not hard to understand. J2807 is a testing standard for determining tow vehicle GCWR and Trailer Weight rating. It is NOT a methodology for determining payload!. It tests to max payload capacity, and uses the items you describe (and others) to determine tow rating, but that does NOT change the payload of a vehicle.
You cannot say because the J2807 standard tests with 300 lbs of passenger and 100 lbs of tow equipment, that the payload of a vehicle magically is increased by 400 lbs.
In fact, the word payload doesn't even appear anywhere in the doc you referenced.
