2013 gxl d4d 5 speed auto just got a camper trailer and was just going to bang it in D and drive away but a few people keep saying to run it in 4s what do you suggest pro cons?

Do what the manual says, which is to tow in S4. It's for the longevity of your transmission.

Same with auto or manual. Try not to tow in top gear. Too much stress in the trans
