Shocker 20K Impact Max Cushion Pintle Hitch - Fits 2-1/2" Hitch, 4"Rise 6.5"Drop

Pull a loaded equipment trailer behind a 1-ton on a rough highway and you feel it. Every frost heave and hard stop jolts straight through the truck, the trailer chucks back and forth at the ball, and it wears on your back, your gear, and the rig. The Shocker Impact Max 20K is a heavy-duty cushion hitch that takes the hit for you.

It runs the same proven dual rubber bump cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K, built on the beefed-up 20K chassis with a matte black powder coat. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch & Pintle Hook w/Mount hauls 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb of tongue weight, drops into 2-1/2-inch receivers, and gives you 4" Rise to 6-1/2" Drop to sit your trailer level.

And it does all of it with zero air pressure to manage and no ongoing maintenance.

Real Capacity for 1-Ton Trucks: The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons just fine. Once you are dragging skid steers, dump trailers, and heavy equipment haulers behind a 1-ton, that is when you need the 20K chassis. You get the same cushion technology sitting on heavier-duty steel.

Dual Rubber Bump Cushions: Two sealed rubber cushions eat the tow shock by compressing and rebounding as the road throws it at you. The ball mount pivots as it works, and that is what lets a cushion hitch ride smoother than a solid steel mount, even loaded to full GTW.

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

No Compressor Required: Air-ride hitches at this capacity want a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so it needs neither. That is a real difference on a remote job site or out on the ranch, where dragging a compressor around is not always practical.

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)

Fleet trucks where simple and tough beats tunable

Owners who outgrew the Impact Cushion 14K and need more capacity

Same 20K chassis family, same matte black finish. The choice comes down to how the hitch soaks up the road.

Impact Max 20K (this product): Rubber cushions, sealed and maintenance-free. About 30 to 40% cheaper, with no compressor or pressure gauge to deal with. Best if you want a simple, tough setup and a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount, without taking on the air-ride workflow.

HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling): An adjustable airbag you tune to the load you are pulling. More travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is field-replaceable but does wear over many years. Best for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who want that adjustability.

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 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 treat the hitch like every other piece of gear on the truck, this is the line built for you.

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. Run more than one truck across the Shocker lineup and your attachments carry over across the 20K product family, so you buy one set instead of several.

The textured matte black powder coat holds up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it is stocked in Canada, so it ships direct with no border wait.

The Shocker Hitch is a heavy duty unit that in most cases exceeds factory towing weight capacities, therefore it is imperative that you always read and follow the tongue and towing weight recommendations of the truck that is mounted on, the trailer coupler rating and the ratings of the trailer you are towing.
