You can download the truck's Owner's Manual and U-Connect supplement. This is what it says for my 2020 RAM 2500 with 12" touchscreen:

Apple CarPlay® — If Equipped
NOTE:
Feature availability depends on your carrier and
mobile phone manufacturer. Some Apple
CarPlay® features may or may not be available
in every region and/or language.
Apple CarPlay® allows you to use your voice to
interact with Siri through your vehicle’s voice
recognition system, and use your smartphone
to project your iPhone® and many apps onto
your Uconnect touchscreen (smartphone’s data
plan will be used for certain apps). Connect your
iPhone® 5 or higher to one of the media USB
ports, using the Apple® factory-provided Lightning
cable, and press the new Apple CarPlay®
icon that replaces your Phone icon on the main
menu bar to begin Apple CarPlay®. Push and
hold the VR button on the steering wheel, or
press and hold the Home button within Apple
CarPlay®, to activate Siri, which recognizes
natural voice commands to use certain
iPhone’s® features such as:
 Phone
 Music
 Messages
 Maps
 Additional Apps
Refer to your Uconnect Owner’s Manual Supplement
for further information

And from the U-Connect Supplement:

Apple CarPlay® Integration
NOTE:
Feature availability depends on your carrier and
mobile phone manufacturer. Some Apple
CarPlay® features may or may not be available
in every region and/or language.
Uconnect works seamlessly with Apple
CarPlay® , the smarter, more secure way to use
your iPhone® in the car, and stay focused on
the road. Use your Uconnect touchscreen
display, the vehicle's knobs and controls, and
your voice with Siri to get access to Apple
Music®, Maps, Messages, and more.
To use Apple CarPlay®, make sure you are
using iPhone® 5 or later, have Siri enabled in
Settings, ensure your iPhone® is unlocked for
the very first connection only, and then use the
following procedure:
1. Connect your iPhone® to one of the media
USB ports in your vehicle.
NOTE:
Be sure to use the factory-provided Lightning
cable that came with your phone, as aftermarket
cables may not work.

2. Once the device is connected and
recognized, the “Phone” icon on the drag &
drop menu bar automatically changes to
the Apple CarPlay® Icon. Apple CarPlay®
launches automatically, but if not, refer to
“Android Auto™ And Apple CarPlay® Tips
And Tricks” in this section for the procedure
to enable the feature “AutoShow”. You can
also touch the Apple CarPlay® icon on the
touchscreen to launch it.
Once
Apple CarPlay® is up and running on your
Uconnect system, the following features can be
utilized using your iPhone’s® data plan:
 Phone
 Music
 Messages
 Maps
NOTE:
To use Apple CarPlay® make sure that cellular
data is turned on, and that you are in an area
with cellular coverage. Your data and cellular
coverage is shown on the left side of the radio
screen.

And it continues with information about phone calls, playing music, getting messages, and using Apps.
