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 20,000 lbs behind a 1-ton on rough pavement and you feel every frost heave and hard stop slam back through the truck, the trailer, and whatever you are hauling. A solid mount passes all of that jarring straight through, wearing on your rig and beating up your load. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes the hit for you. Two sealed rubber bump cushions soak up the shock so a heavy pull rides smoother and stops calmer, even loaded right to the limit. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch & Drop Ball Mount w/2" Ball carries the full 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb of tongue weight, slides into a 2-inch receiver, and adjusts from 0" to 7-1/2" of drop to sit your trailer level. It runs the same proven cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K, built on the heavier 20K chassis and finished in matte black powder coat, with no air pressure to check and no maintenance routine to keep up.

What the 20K Cushion Hitch Does for You
Real Capacity for 1-Ton Trucks
The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of three-quarter-tons just fine. Start pulling skid steers, dump trailers, or heavy equipment behind a 1-ton and you need the heavier 20K chassis. Same cushion technology, thicker steel to carry the load.
Dual Rubber Bump Cushions
Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and rebound to swallow the shock a solid mount would pass straight to your truck. The pivoting ball mount geometry is what lets a cushion hitch ride smoother than a rigid one, even loaded to full GTW.
Matte Black Stealth Finish
The textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, fights off chips, and looks right behind a blacked-out modern truck. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
No Compressor Required
Air-ride hitches at this capacity need a compressor and a pressure gauge to stay set. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is nothing to inflate or check. That matters on a remote job site or ranch where dragging out a compressor is a real hassle.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and loads that demand it, and it gets there without the air-ride workflow.
- 1-ton pickups like the F-350, RAM 3500, and GMC 3500HD
- Dually trucks pulling at full GTW
- Skid steer trailers, dump trailers, and equipment haulers
- Contractor and ranch trailers loaded at or near 20,000 lbs
- Fleet trucks where simple and tough beats adjustable
- Owners who outgrew the Impact Cushion 14K and need more capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Same 20K chassis family, same matte black finish. What you are choosing between is how each one soaks up the road.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Sealed rubber cushions that never need maintenance and cost about 30% to 40% less. No compressor, no pressure gauge, nothing to set before a tow. Best if you want a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount and would rather keep it simple than tune it.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you can dial to any load, with more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is a wear item over the years, though you can replace it in the field. 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 a minute to check airbag pressure before you roll out. The Impact Max 20K takes that step off your plate. Hook up, pull, unhook, and do it again for years with no maintenance routine to remember. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but expect the hitch to just work like the rest of your fleet gear, this is the line built for you.
Same Attachments as the HD Max Black
The Impact Max 20K takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. Run more than one truck in the Shocker ecosystem and your attachments stay cross-compatible across the 20K family, so you buy one set and share it around. The textured matte black powder coat holds up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it ships direct from stock in Canada with no border wait.
