“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 20,000 pounds behind a 1-ton and a solid mount lets you feel every frost heave, every expansion joint, and every hard stop. That constant jarring and chucking wears on the truck, the trailer, and whatever you have loaded, and it turns a long day at the wheel into a rough one. The Impact Max Cushion Hitch takes that hit for you. Two sealed rubber cushions soak up the shock between truck and trailer so the ride settles down and stops feel controlled, even loaded to the limit. It carries the full 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb of tongue weight, drops into a 2-1/2-inch receiver, and adjusts from 3" Drop to 5" Rise to get you sitting level. It runs the same proven dual rubber bump cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K, just on the heavier 20K chassis in a matte black powder coat. There is no air pressure to manage and no maintenance routine to keep up with. Hook up and pull.

Key Highlights

  • Hauls the full 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb of tongue weight, the heaviest load you will put behind a 1-ton
  • Two sealed rubber cushions take the shock, so you never manage air pressure or run a maintenance routine
  • Matte black powder coat hides road grime, shrugs off chips, and matches a blacked-out truck
  • 2-1/2-inch shank drops into F-250 / RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton receivers (class V)
  • 7-hole adjustable frame flips over so you can dial in more drop or more rise to sit level
  • Runs the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black, so a mixed fleet shares one set
  • Costs roughly 30 to 40% less than the HD Max Black 20K air-ride version
  • Built for 1-ton pickups and dually trucks pulling right at the 20K limit

Why a 20K Cushion Hitch

Enough Capacity for a 1-Ton

The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons just fine. Once you are dragging a skid steer, a loaded dump trailer, or a heavy equipment hauler behind a 1-ton, you have moved past it and need the 20K chassis. You get the same cushion technology built on heavier-duty steel.

Dual Rubber Bump Cushions

Two sealed rubber cushions take the shock as the load shifts, squeezing down and springing back so the jolts never reach the cab. The ball mount pivots as it works, and that is what lets a cushion hitch ride smoother than a solid mount even at full GTW.

Matte Black That Stays Clean

The textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, fights off chips, and looks right on a modern blacked-out truck. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.

No Compressor to Run

Air-ride hitches at this capacity want a compressor and a pressure gauge before every tow. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so none of that applies. Out on a remote job site or the ranch, where hauling a compressor around is a hassle, that is one less thing to deal with.

Built For These Trucks and Trailers

Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and loads that need it, and it gets the job done without the air-ride workflow.

  • 1-ton pickups (F-350, RAM 3500, GMC 3500HD)
  • Dually trucks working at full GTW
  • Skid steer trailers, dump trailers, equipment haulers
  • Contractor and ranch trailers pulling at or near 20,000 lbs
  • Fleet trucks that want simple and tough over adjustable
  • Owners moving up from the Impact Cushion 14K after outgrowing its capacity

Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K

Same 20K chassis family, same matte black finish. What you are choosing between is the suspension technology.

Option 1

Impact Max 20K (this product)

Sealed rubber cushions that never need maintenance. About 30 to 40% cheaper, with no compressor or pressure gauge to bother with. This is the pick when you want it simple and tough, plus a real ride upgrade over a solid mount, and you would rather skip the air-ride workflow.

Option 2

HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)

An adjustable airbag you tune with pressure to match any load. It gives you more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight, and it needs an inflator. The airbag is a wear item over many years, and you can replace it in the field. This is the pick for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who want that adjustability.

Built for the Job Site

Out on a working ranch, a remote job site, or a busy fleet yard, you do not always have a minute to check airbag pressure before you roll. The Impact Max 20K cuts that step out completely. Hook up, pull, unhook, and do it again, year after year, with no maintenance routine to keep. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but you want to 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 takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. If you run several trucks across the Shocker ecosystem, your attachments stay cross-compatible across the 20K product family, so you can standardize on one set. It is finished in a textured matte black powder coat that stands up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it is stocked in Canada for fast shipping with no border wait.
