I'm the same boat as many on here, I want my truck to look good but not a high gloss show finish. I'd prefer it looks like it was painted with some kind of enamel that was used in the factory. Any recommendations for a paint to use?

Although you'd likely see some savings by going to a good quality single stage it's going to dry high gloss. Paint companies have put much energy to have them do this.
The enamels dried shiny too when they were fresh... they just didn't hold their shine over time. Aerosol paint is typically enamel but I'm not recommending you use them but you can decide that. Alkyd enamel is available in many brands such as Tremclad or Rustoleum and are very affordable, dries shiny too.
