Dehumidification - Thermostat or Furnace?

Hello.

I am replacing our entire HVAC cental air & heating system.

I am looking at variable speed motor furnaces like the Goodman GMV95.

When it comes to dehumidification, do I need a thermostat that has a humidity control?

My understanding is that furnaces with variable speed motors run the blower motor slower for a while to remove the humidity in the summer time for example. So is this "automatic" on furnaces with the "DEHUM" option, or does the thermostat tells the furnace when do dehumidifiy?

I guess I am confused with the entire dehumidification process and who (thermostat or furnace) makes the call?
