Any truth to it coming out with a more aerodynamic windshield?

With the new tranny I wonder what will be involved with making it a tow rig behind a motorhome?

Can't you just put the transfer case in neutral and leave the auto tranny in park?

There is a sequence you go through,, start the engine,, put it in N then put the transfer case in N,, turn off engine and put in drive,, leave key in acc ect.
Not a big deal but some just have to simply push a button on turn a dial. That would be nice....

finally... the engine and transmission were extremely outdated. I see a wave of trade ins in 2012.

I actually read it somewhere else too. One of the Chrysler engineer honchos said that since the new transmission is longer in length, they will increase the length of the overall length of the vehicle fractionally. This they said will allow them to change the windshield rake and make a couple other improvements.

Where can I find what the model numbers mean?

Try going to Jeep.com and do a Build Your Own of a Rubicon. In Options under Interior you will see the 430N and 730N and you can click details to learn the difference.
