The 20-year-old Briton scored his first WRC stage win last year with his fastest time on the event's final stage allowing him to grab the final points position - his first - from then Stobart Ford team-mate Luis Perez Companc.
But he is keeping his expectations in check this time, mindful of how treacherous the rough South American stages can be.
"I'm really looking forward to Argentina, especially after scoring my first driver's point and stage win there last year," said Wilson.
"My aim is for top-ten but if we stay out of trouble and get to the end, the reliability of this car could certainly mean some more points for us.
"We know how tough this rally can be so we will definitely be taking a steady approach and look to complete the event."
Wilson has already equalled his Argentine result this year with eighth in Mexico, a finish that sees him 14th in the world championship table.
