Theoretical stopping distance (you can verify this with just your unloaded vehicle) should be less than 30 feet from 25MPH. This does not include reaction time and assumes pavement and decent ABS performance. It also assumes your TV has enough brakes to lock all 4 on pavement (I know the Tundra does).
At 113 feet, that is worse than expected with no trailer brakes at all, especially with a Tundra and that small trailer. Are you sure you are getting the truck to cycle on ABS? You're not going to hurt it if you just do one panic stop and let it cool.

Also, your truck alone should do at least 50-0 in 113 feet.
