Default benefits of chevy?

ok so im 16 and im looking for a truck i know decent amount of info for my age i suppose, so far i bought a 91 nissan pickup for 40 dollars and put about 700 into it and hoping to sell for a profit (engine swap and a few other obstacles along the way) it was way under powered so thats why im selling :P. so my next truck im wondering why chevy would be better, im going to be using it for daily commuting of about 30 minutes, 4x4ing and transporting my 500 pound quad, so im looking for a 90s 1500. where i live its about 0 degrees coldest on average for about 2 months of the year and 20-30 in summer (always good to say random details)

Chevy Trucks the most dependable truck money can buy. If it does break the parts r cheap and very easy to get and easy to work on. When you do get a truck i would get a block heater.

why would you put a block heater in a gas engine if the coldest it gets is 0?

my trucks all start even if it's -10, hell, my duramax still starts on glow plugs alone below 0

You wouldn't have to put a block heater in but it will help get 300,000 plus miles out of an engine.
