Correct.
There are alot of reasons not to place anything in your garage roof trusses for lifting a heavy load. You would use a beam (an I-beam, or a wide flange), but roof trusses in general are designed to support roof loads primarily, not point loads suspended under the trusses.
Rent an engine hoist is my best advice.
