USB-C ports

They should be more than that, as a standard USB-C is rated at 100W.

This is incorrect. USB-C is a physical kind of port.
You are referring to USB-PD.
Some of the ports are just data ports and others are charging ports. If I had to guess I would say it's around 5-10 watts per port as they are designed to charge phones, not laptops and they definitely do not support quick charge of any kind due to the lack of charging chips required to safely charge devices are higher rates.
They provide 18W. I tested this by plugging in my laptop and viewing the system profile; this displays what it’s charging at via USB C. This is with a Mac, but you may be able to do the same with Windows, Linux, Commodore 64, etc.
You could also use a USB power meter (I don’t have one).

Thanks, all... I purchased a MagSafe cup holder charger/bracket for iPhone 13. The directions with the charger indicate that I need to use a 20w port - so just wondering what the ones on my truck are rated at. I'll do some more digging...
They’re rated at 18W. I’ve used three MagSafe chargers—Apple’s, Course Motorsports, and Mous’s—and they all work. I’ll have to do another test to see which charge at 15W (vs 7.5W).
Any MagSafe charger should work; worst case, you’ll get 7.5W charging instead of 15W, but it’ll still charge your phone.

Yeah any phone should charge fine, but don't expect a laptop to charge just because it accept USB-C as a charger connection
