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.
Drag a fully loaded equipment trailer behind a 1-ton and a solid mount makes you feel every frost heave, every expansion joint, every hard stop. The jolt hammers your truck, your load, and your back, mile after mile. The Shocker Impact Max 20K is the heavy-duty cushion hitch that takes the punch out of that ride. It uses the same proven dual rubber bump cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K, built onto a beefed-up 20K chassis with a matte black powder coat. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch and Pintle Hook w/Mount hauls 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb tongue weight, drops into any 2-inch receiver, and gives you 4" Rise to 6-1/2" Drop to sit your trailer level. Best part: zero air pressure to manage and no maintenance routine to keep up with.
Key Highlights
- Hauls 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb tongue weight, the heaviest trailers you will put behind a 1-ton
- Sealed dual rubber cushions soak up the shock with no air pressure to check and no maintenance to keep up
- Matte black powder coat shrugs off rock chips and road grime and matches a blacked-out truck

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

Why a 20K Cushion Hitch
Real Capacity for 1-Ton Trucks
The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons just fine. Start pulling skid steers, dump trailers, or heavy equipment haulers behind a 1-ton and you need the 20K chassis under you. It runs the same cushion technology on heavier-duty steel.
Dual Rubber Bump Cushions Do the Work
Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and rebound to swallow the tow shock before it reaches your truck. The pivoting ball mount lets them move, so the ride stays smoother than a solid mount even when you are loaded to full GTW.
Matte Black That Hides the Miles
The textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, fights off chips, and looks right behind a modern blacked-out truck. It comes from the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
No Compressor to Drag Around
Air-ride hitches at this capacity need a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed and needs neither. That counts for a lot on remote job sites and ranch work where firing up a compressor is not always in the cards.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and loads that need every bit of it, without the air-ride workflow to babysit.
- 1-ton pickups like the F-350, RAM 3500, and GMC 3500HD
- Dual-rear-wheel trucks running 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. The only real decision is which suspension you want under the load.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Sealed rubber cushions that never need service and cost about 30 to 40% less. No compressor, no pressure gauge, nothing to check before you pull. This is the one for owners who want a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount and would rather keep things simple and tough than tune anything.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you dial in with pressure to match any load, for more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is a wear item over many years (field-replaceable when the day comes). This is the pick 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 completely. Hook up, pull, unhook, and do it again for years with no maintenance routine hanging over you. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but treat the hitch like any other piece of fleet gear, this is the line built for you.
Same Attachments as the HD Max Black
The Impact Max 20K uses the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. Run a few trucks across the Shocker ecosystem and your attachments carry across the whole 20K product family, so you can standardize on one set. The textured matte black powder coat stands up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it ships from our Canadian stock, so there is no border wait.
