I have a gm boon for a vanara pc, and I was wondering what to do with it class wise. I was thinking gunslinger because of the ability score synergy and because I've wanted to play one for a while. Of course gunslinger seems to favor human because of how feat intensive it is. A lot of it depends on if you can use the prehensile tail to load a gun or not. I need to look into it. What do you guys think?

The prehensile tail itself can't reload.
However, the prehensile tail can hold a gun while one of the vanara's hands reloads it. Also, similar to casters with a weapon and a light shield, passing a weapon between hands (or a hand and a prehensile tail) is a free action.
A vanara, since the weapon cord nerf, can pull off the two pistol gunslinger without needing to spend the extra feats on Weapon Focus, Dazzling Display, and Gun Twirling.

If I had a vanara I'd be looking into a Wu Kong cleric/inquisitor/war priest.
Derp. Sun Wukong.
Not an exciting favored weapon, but very good domains. And the prehensile tail is good for fetching scrolls. Vanara make good casting-focused clerics.
If you develop your natural Climb speed to the point where you can hold onto dungeon walls/ceilings, it's easy to stay out of melee, too.

They have the stats for a gunslinger, but I don't think you can reload with a tail. You can check with your DM. Though even without you aren't bad off.
Like Chromatic said, they make great monks (especially Zen Archers), with both their stat bonuses helping.
Empyreal Sorcerer, Ranger, Inquisitor.... all very nice options.
And there's only a few classes they're really bad at.
