There's nothing in the 'VIN code' that reveals presence of the Max Tow Package 53C - one must access the complete underlying VIN-specific vehicle equipment database to determine that. The axle ratio does not provide the answer because the 53C package uses ratios common to vehicles without the package (3:55 / 3:73).
FYI many F150's manufactured between 1/28/2020 - 12/25/2022 with the Max Tow Package 53C are under a recall (perhaps the reason for your question?).

If you see reference to
NHTSA Recall Number 23V896 relating to the rear axle end bolt, the vehicle definitely has the Max Tow Package 53C.
The recall is specific only to trucks having the Max Tow Package 53C with its particular 3/4-float rear axle (of any ratio). The recall cannot yet be 'cleared / closed' for any affected vehicle because no remedy is yet available from Ford.
Note however, absence of the recall does not necessarily mean the truck is
without package 53C.
Yes, my 2022 Fi50 has Max Tow Package 53C and shows the open recall (I've also received direct mail notification from Ford). Knocking on wood, I have not suffered axle end-bolt loosening or breaking as of this moment.
