Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Jeep Wrangler is a better financial choice over the Lincoln Aviator, when considering MSRP.

Powertrain
The Jeep Wrangler has much lower torque than the Lincoln Aviator, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Jeep Wrangler has less seating than the Lincoln Aviator, making the Lincoln Aviator the better choice, if you need to chauffeur many passengers. The Jeep Wrangler has less cargo space than the Lincoln Aviator, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
