"Pinched fingers be damned! We heard some rumors that Jeep is considering a power-retractable top for the upcoming fourth-gen Wrangler, although it is still in the very early stages of development. If it does make it to production, such a top would likely be a high-priced niche option for buyers who don&amp;#039;t want to be bothered with manually retracting soft tops or heavy, bulky removable hard tops. Such a feature would surely expand the appeal of the Wrangler to folks without the DIY sensibilities needed to retract the complex soft top. Furthermore, removable doors are still on the table, and Jeep is also looking to redesign the Wrangler&amp;#039;s frame to deliver a smoother ride while keeping the solid axles. With good news comes bad news, though, as the Wrangler&amp;#039;s folding windshield and rear-mounted spare tire could be on the chopping block. Dropping the folding windshield would be a no-brainer for increased safety and lessened vehicle complexity, while getting rid of the full-size spare tire could help shave precious pounds from the curb weight. We might still have some time to wait before learning about the fate of the next-gen Wrangler, as there&amp;#039;s no word of when it will be ready to hit the road (and trails).
