“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.

You feel every frost heave and hard stop come straight up through a solid ball mount. The trailer chucks, the truck lurches, and by the end of a long haul your back, your rig, and your cargo have all taken the beating. The Shocker Impact Max 20K fixes that. It is the heavy-duty cushion hitch built for 1-ton trucks and 20,000 lb loads, using 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 2-1/2-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 of tongue weight, enough for the heaviest trailers a 1-ton will pull
  • Sealed dual rubber cushions soak up the jolts, with no air pressure to set and no maintenance to remember
  • Matte black powder coat hides road grime and resists chips, so it looks sharp on a blacked-out truck
  • 2-1/2-inch shank slides straight into F-250 / RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton truck receivers (class V)
  • 7-hole adjustable frame flips over for more drop or more rise, so you can level nearly any trailer
  • Runs the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black ecosystem, so gear you already own carries over
  • 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 that tow right at the 20K limit

Why Step Up to a 20K Cushion Hitch

Capacity Sized for a 1-Ton

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

Dual Rubber Cushions Do the Work

Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and rebound to swallow the shock a solid mount would send straight into your truck. The pivoting ball mount geometry is what smooths out the ride, even loaded right to full GTW.

Matte Black That Stays Sharp

Textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, shrugs off chips, and looks right at home on a modern blacked-out truck. 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 need a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is nothing to inflate. That matters on remote job sites and ranch work where running a compressor is not always practical.

The Trucks and Trailers This Was Built For

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

  • 1-ton pickups like the F-350, RAM 3500, and GMC 3500HD
  • Dual-rear-wheel trucks working at full GTW
  • Skid steer trailers, dump trailers, and equipment haulers
  • Contractor and ranch trailers pulling at or near 20,000 lbs
  • Fleet trucks where simple and tough beats tunable
  • 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 choice is which suspension you want underneath.

Option 1

Impact Max 20K (this product)

Rubber cushions, sealed and maintenance-free. Runs about 30 to 40% cheaper with no compressor or pressure gauge to deal with. Best if you want simplicity, durability, and a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount, with none of the air-ride routine.

Option 2

HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)

Adjustable airbag you 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 value that adjustability.

Made for the Working Day

On a working ranch, a remote job site, or a busy fleet yard, you do not always have time to check airbag pressure before you pull out. The Impact Max 20K takes that step off your list. Hook up, pull, unhook, and do it again 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 gear, this is the line for you.

Shares Attachments With 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 several trucks across the Shocker lineup and your attachments stay cross-compatible across the 20K product family. 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, border-free shipping.
