The Jeep Wrangler will be available with a color-matched hard top soon. Spy shots have surfaced of production Wranglers, one two-door and one four-door, with hard tops that match their silver paint ready to leave the production facility, according to Left Lane News.
The Wrangler is an off-road icon, but right now it falls short in the looks department for buyers who are more concerned with chrome than crawling, and those buyers are a big percentage of the SUV market. It’s hard to convince someone you’re a baller in an SUV with ‘go ahead, scratch me up’ black fenders and a black roof. Jeep’s decision to add the option of a roof painted to match the body color is a smart one, and it should be popular with the chrome crowd.
For Jeep owners who use their JK to its full off-road potential, Jeep has also announced an off-road trailer. The pop-up, off-road-ready trailer will feature 12 inches of ground clearance, BF Goodrich tires, wheels from the Wrangler Rubicon, a torsion bar suspension designed for maximum articulation and a queen size bed. An Extreme Trail edition will also be available with 35-inch tires, skid plates and diamond plated fenders.
The off-road trailer will go on sale next month, according to Left Lane News, and will start at $9,995. The Extreme Trail camper will cost $11,995. Jeep has not officially announced the price of the color-matched hard top for the Wrangler, so no pricing is available.
