If it was 2000 rpm at 60 in 5th then when at 80 and 2000 rpm it had to be in 6th. I don't like how when in auto some cars just say D and not what gear its actually in. You can try counting them from a standstill but there may seem to be an extra drop when the torque converter locks up. At 80 steady state in drive try shifting it to manual and see if there really is another gear. Also I bet the difference in ratios 5-6 is pretty slight.
Ps- I bet any kind of tow/haul mode will lock out 6th in drive also.
