Thanks, my thought is not the gear ratio but rather the wider axles with the 4.10, and the potential correlation (good or bad) to handling issues. The gears is just a simple way of differentiating between the two options.
I have an Overland with the tow package and 3.73 gears. The factory tow package is supposed to come with better axles, which may affect the handling. The 4.10 gears are only available on the Sport S Max Tow and the Rubicon. Whether or not it has the Factory Tow package would be a better differentiator than the gearing.

Mine definitely does not do that. The high winds will push on it, but it drives straight with no slop in the steering.
I said better, not wider. I was under the impression that the Factory Tow package included better axles and brakes than the standard model, which may not be correct. I looked at my window sticker and it just shows 3.73 gears and Heavy Duty Dana 44 Axles as standard equipment.I
No, The wider track axles are only with the 4.10 gears and not available on Overland trim. Regular Tow package adds the Equipment listed below to all trims. The Sport and Sport S can get Max Tow with wider axles and 4.10, or the regular tow group addition. Rubicon has 4.10 and wider axles stock.
Sorry not trying to be a jerk, just want to be correct for others, who may not know or be fed BS by ignorant salesman. Your axles are the standard D44 axles, same as what is found on the Sport and Sport S trims without the Max Tow option. The regular tow option makes no changes to the axles. Only the Max Tow option.
I appreciate your energy and description here and I respect it but this is why I say my 4.10 MaxTow DRIFTS..... I think your notes " Massive dead spot in the middle of the steering when going straight. It pulls left" and "You are constantly floating between the edges of the dead spot and it is compounded by the 3-4 inches of play in the steering wheel" are way different then how i would interpret it.
Nope.
