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.
When 20,000 pounds is riding behind you on a solid hitch, you feel every frost heave and hard stop. The load shoves the truck, the constant chucking wears on your frame and your cargo, and a long haul leaves you beat up by the time you unhook. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes that hit so you don't have to. It's the heavy-duty cushion hitch built for 1-ton trucks and loads up to 20,000 lbs, 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 & Drop Ball Mount w/2" Ball carries 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb tongue weight, fits 2-1/2-inch receivers, and gives you 0" to 7-1/2" of drop, all with zero air pressure to manage and no ongoing maintenance.
Key Highlights
- Hauls up to 20,000 lbs GTW with 2,000 lb of tongue weight, the heaviest trailers a 1-ton will pull
- Sealed dual rubber cushions soak up the road shock, with no air pressure to set and nothing to maintain
- Matte black powder coat shrugs off rock chips and road grime and pairs with 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 to give you more drop or more rise for a level tow

- Roughly 30 to 40% less than the HD Max Black 20K air-ride version

Why Step Up to a 20K Cushion Hitch
Real Capacity for 1-Ton Trucks
The 14K Impact Cushion is plenty for a half-ton and a lot of 3/4-tons. But the day you start pulling skid steers, dump trailers, or heavy equipment haulers behind a 1-ton, you need the 20K chassis under you. Same cushion technology, heavier-duty steel.
Dual Rubber Bump Cushions
Two sealed rubber cushions take the tow shock by compressing and rebounding as the load works. The pivoting ball mount geometry is what lets a cushion hitch ride smoother than a solid mount, even loaded to full GTW.
Matte Black Stealth Finish
The textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, resists chipping, and looks right behind a modern blacked-out truck. It's 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 gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there's none of that to run. On a remote job site or out on the ranch, that's one less thing to haul and one less step before you pull.
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, without the air-ride workflow.
- 1-ton pickups (F-350, RAM 3500, GMC 3500HD)
- Dual-rear-wheel trucks towing 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 stepping up from the Impact Cushion 14K who outgrew its capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Same 20K chassis family, same matte black finish. The choice comes down to how you want the ride handled.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Rubber cushions, sealed and maintenance-free. Roughly 30 to 40% cheaper. No compressor or pressure gauge to deal with. Best if you want simplicity, durability, and a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount, without the air-ride workflow.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
Adjustable airbag you tune to the load with pressure. More travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. Needs an inflator. 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 fleet yard, you don't always have a minute to check airbag pressure before you pull. The Impact Max 20K takes that step away completely. Hook up, pull, unhook, and do it again for years, with no maintenance routine to keep. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but you'd rather 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: combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. If you're running several trucks across the Shocker ecosystem, your attachments are cross-compatible across the 20K product family, so you can standardize instead of buying twice. It's finished in a textured matte black powder coat that holds up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it's stocked in Canada so it ships direct with no border wait.
