About the only way to make it look like it did is to have it resprayed imho.
Touch up paint works wonders in some places and in some conditions. I use it myself. However yours is in one of the worst places. A nice big flat vertical pannel.
I worked on a similar scratch a couple weeks ago on a lincoln. I did 3 coats of M105 with a rotary armed with a PFW pad and it did almost nothing on a scratch that deep.
I also have a client with key damage on the driver's door in a similar place. He tried to use touch up paint before I could get to it and ruined the pannel.
Do what you like, but a respray would be what I would do on my own truck.
