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 a heavy equipment trailer on a solid ball mount and every frost heave and hard stop hammers straight through the hitch into your truck, your trailer, and the load riding behind you. That chucking wears on everything it touches and beats you up on a long day. The Impact Max 20K takes the edge off. Two sealed rubber bump cushions squeeze and rebound to soak up the jarring, so the ride settles down even loaded to the limit. It carries 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb of tongue weight, drops into a 2-inch receiver, and adjusts from 0" to 7-1/2" of drop for a level tow. Same rubber cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K, built on a heavier 20K chassis and finished in matte black powder coat. No air pressure to check, no compressor, and nothing to maintain. Hook up and go.

- Hauls up to 20,000 lbs with 2,000 lb of tongue weight, the heaviest trailers you'll put behind a 1-ton

- Costs roughly 30 to 40% less than the HD Max Black 20K air-ride version
- Built for 1-ton pickups and dual-rear-wheel trucks towing right at the 20K limit

Installation

What the 20K Cushion Gives You
Capacity That Matches a 1-Ton
The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons just fine. Load a skid steer, a full dump trailer, or a heavy equipment hauler behind a 1-ton and you are past its rating. The 20K chassis is built for exactly that work, the same cushion technology on heavier-duty steel.
Two Cushions Soak Up the Shock
Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and rebound to swallow the shock a solid mount passes straight through to your rig. The ball mount pivots as they flex, so the ride stays smoother than a rigid drawbar even loaded to full GTW.
Blacked-Out Finish That Holds Up
Textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, fights off chipping, and pairs cleanly with a modern blacked-out truck. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
Nothing to Pump, Nothing to Check
Air-ride hitches at this capacity need a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is no pump to carry and no reading to double-check. That is a real advantage on a remote job site or ranch work where running a compressor is not always practical.
Who This Hitch Is Built For
Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and loads that actually demand it, and it gets there without any air-ride routine.
- 1-ton pickups like the F-350, RAM 3500, and GMC 3500HD
- Dual-rear-wheel trucks loaded to full GTW
- Skid steer trailers, dump trailers, and equipment haulers
- Contractor and ranch trailers running at or near 20,000 lbs
- Fleet trucks where dead-simple and durable beats tunable
- Owners stepping up from the Impact Cushion 14K who outgrew its capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Both share the same 20K chassis and matte black finish. The only real decision is how you want the suspension to work.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Sealed rubber cushions with nothing to maintain and no compressor or pressure gauge to fuss with. Runs about 30 to 40% cheaper than the air-ride version. This is the pick if you want a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount without taking on the air-ride workflow.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you tune by pressure to match any load, with more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is field-replaceable but does wear 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 busy fleet yard, nobody has time to check airbag pressure before every tow. The Impact Max 20K takes that step off the list. Hook up, pull, drop, and do it again for years with no maintenance routine to remember. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but want the hitch to just work 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 takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. Run several trucks across the Shocker ecosystem and the attachments swap right across the 20K family, so you buy one set and share it. The textured matte black powder coat stands up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and every hitch ships from stock in Canada, so there is no border wait.
