“I've ridden in the trailer myself — the difference in shock is huge. Our horses come off so much more relaxed, and there's less wear on the truck and trailer too.”

Stop destroying your trailer and cargo.

Every bump, pothole, and expansion joint sends a violent jolt through your trailer frame, damaging cargo and wearing out your truck. Shocker Air Ride Hitches absorb that punishment at the coupling, before it reaches your trailer.

Pull twenty thousand pounds behind a solid ball mount and you feel every frost heave and every hard stop slam straight through the truck, the trailer, and the load. The Shocker Impact Max 20K is the heavy-duty cushion hitch that takes that hit for you. It runs the same proven dual rubber bump cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K, now on the beefed-up 20K chassis with a matte black powder coat finish. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch & Raised Ball Mount w/2" Ball & Sway Bar Tabs carries 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb tongue weight, fits 2-inch receivers, and gives you 3" Drop to 5" Rise, all with zero air pressure to manage and no ongoing maintenance.

Key Highlights

  • Hauls a full 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb on the tongue, the heaviest trailers you will put behind a 1-ton
  • Two sealed rubber cushions soak up road shock with no air pressure to set and nothing to maintain
  • Matte black powder coat shrugs off rock chips and grime and matches a blacked-out truck
  • 2-inch shank drops into F-150-class half-ton receivers and any class III or IV hitch
  • 7-hole frame flips over so you can dial in more drop or more rise for a level tow
  • Takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black line, so your accessories carry over
  • Costs roughly 30 to 40% less than the air-ride HD Max Black 20K
  • Built for 1-ton pickups and dual-rear-wheel trucks pulling right at the 20K limit

Why Step Up to a 20K Cushion Hitch

Real Capacity for 1-Ton Work

The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons. Once you are dragging skid steers, dump trailers, and heavy equipment haulers behind a 1-ton, that load needs the 20K chassis under it. Same cushion technology, with heavier-duty steel doing the work.

Dual Rubber Cushions Do the Absorbing

A solid mount passes every jolt straight to the truck. Two sealed rubber cushions absorb that tow shock through compression and rebound instead, and the pivoting ball mount geometry keeps the ride smoother than a solid mount even at full GTW.

Matte Black That Hides the Miles

Textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, resists chipping, and pairs cleanly with modern blacked-out trucks. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.

No Compressor to Drag Along

Air-ride hitches at this capacity want a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed and needs neither, which matters on remote job sites and ranch work where running a compressor is not always practical.

Built For These Trucks and Trailers

Twenty thousand pounds is serious capacity. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and loads that demand it, without the air-ride workflow.

  • 1-ton pickups like the F-350, RAM 3500, and GMC 3500HD
  • Dual-rear-wheel trucks running at full GTW
  • Skid steer, dump, and equipment-hauler trailers
  • Contractor and ranch trailers pulling at or near 20,000 lbs
  • Fleet trucks where simplicity and durability matter more than tuning
  • Owners who outgrew the Impact Cushion 14K and need more capacity

Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K

Same 20K chassis family and the same matte black finish. The choice comes down to how you want the ride handled.

Option 1

Impact Max 20K (this product)

Sealed rubber cushions that stay maintenance-free and cost about 30 to 40% less. No compressor, no pressure gauge. Best if you want simplicity, durability, and a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount without taking on the air-ride workflow.

Option 2

HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)

An adjustable airbag you can tune to any load, with more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is field-replaceable but wears over many years. Best for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who want that adjustability.

Built for the Job Site

On a working ranch, a remote job site, or a fleet yard, you do not always have time to check airbag pressure before a tow. The Impact Max 20K takes that step off your plate. Hook up, pull, unhook, and repeat for years with no maintenance routine. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but want to treat the hitch like any other piece of fleet equipment, this is the line built for you.

Same Attachments as the HD Max Black

The Impact Max 20K shares its ball mount attachments with the HD Max Black, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. If you run multiple trucks across the Shocker ecosystem, those attachments carry over across the 20K product family. It is finished in a textured matte black powder coat that holds up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it is stocked in Canada for fast, border-free shipping.
