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 twenty thousand pounds behind a 1-ton on rough pavement and you feel every seam, every frost heave, and every hard stop travel straight up through the truck and into your back. A solid mount passes all of it along, and over the miles that pounding wears on your truck, your trailer, and whatever you are hauling. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes the edge off that ride. 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 & Drop Ball Mount w/2-5/16" Ball & Sway Bar Tabs hauls up to 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" Drop to level your trailer. There is no air pressure to manage and nothing to maintain.

What Makes This 20K Cushion Hitch Different
Capacity That Keeps Up With a 1-Ton
The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons just fine. But the day you start pulling skid steers, dump trailers, or a loaded equipment hauler behind a 1-ton, you want the 20K chassis under you. Same cushion technology, heavier-duty steel, so you are not riding the limit.
Two Rubber Cushions Take the Hit
Two sealed rubber cushions soak up the shock of the road by squeezing and springing back, so the jolts do not slam straight into your truck. The ball mount pivots as they work, and that is what lets a cushion hitch ride smoother than a solid mount, even loaded right to full GTW.
Matte Black That Hides the Miles
The textured matte black powder coat shrugs off road grime, resists chipping, 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.
Nothing to Air Up
Air-ride hitches at this capacity need a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is neither. On a remote job site or out on the ranch, where dragging a compressor around is not always practical, 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 actually pull it, without the air-ride routine.
- 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 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 real choice is how you want the ride handled.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Rubber cushions, sealed and maintenance-free, and roughly 30 to 40% cheaper. No compressor or pressure gauge to fuss with. This is the one for the buyer who wants simplicity, durability, and a clear step up in ride over a solid mount, with none of the air-ride routine.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you dial in for the load, with more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator. The airbag can be swapped in the field but it is a wear item over many years. This is the one for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who value that adjustability.
Built for the Job Site
On a working ranch, a remote job site, or a busy fleet yard, you do not always have a spare minute 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 to keep. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but you would 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, so combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts all carry over. If you run more than one truck across the Shocker ecosystem, your attachments swap between them across the 20K family. The textured matte black powder coat stands up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and every hitch is stocked in Canada, so it ships direct with no border wait.
