Question 2016 Ford torque shift transmission specs

I was told the new Bay Stars ( which I bought) have the new Ford 6 speed transmission. The spec sheet for the chassis states it has a torque shift 5R110W auto with tow haul transmission as standard equipment. Then in the "Included on this vehicle" section it states 6 speed automatic trans. That would imply it has the updated 6R140 trans. Anybody know anything about this transmission? Looks like it was used on diesels around 2003. How can it be new?? Sounds like it has been around a while. Maybe it's new for 2016 on the V-10 motors.
I was just trying to get some info on the tranny and also the rear end gearing. That's going to be tough find out unless I call Newmar.

Update: indeed I have the new 6 speed 6R140 transmission. I also stumbled on this VIN decoder from Ford. Here is the web site to plug in your VIN.

vindecoderz.com

You will see all sorts of stuff about your motorhome that you did not know.
