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 a heavy trailer behind a 1-ton and you feel every frost heave and hard stop slam up through the truck. A solid mount passes all of it straight to you, the trailer, and the load. The Impact Max 20K takes the hit instead. Two sealed rubber bump cushions soak up the jarring and settle the ride, even loaded to the limit. It hauls 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb tongue weight, fits 2-1/2-inch receivers, and adjusts from 4" Drop to 4" Rise. Same proven dual rubber cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K, now on the heavier 20K chassis in a matte black powder coat, with zero air pressure to manage and no ongoing maintenance. This kit comes with the chrome combo ball mount carrying both a 2" and a 2-5/16" ball.

What the 20K Cushion Buys You
Capacity a 1-Ton Actually Needs
The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons just fine. Once you are dragging skid steers, dump trailers, and equipment haulers behind a 1-ton, the load outgrows it and you need the 20K chassis. Same cushion technology, with heavier steel under it.
Two Cushions Take the Beating
Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and rebound to swallow the shock a solid mount would send straight into your spine and your cargo. The ball mount pivots as they work, so the ride stays smoother than a fixed drawbar even loaded to full GTW.
Matte Black That Hides the Miles
The textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, fights off rock chips, and looks right behind a modern blacked-out truck. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
Nothing to Pump Up
Air-ride hitches at this capacity need a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed and needs neither, which matters on a remote job site or a ranch where dragging out a compressor before every tow is not practical.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and loads that pull it every day, and it does the job without the air-ride workflow.
- 1-ton pickups like the F-350, RAM 3500, and GMC 3500HD
- Dual-rear-wheel trucks running 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, same matte black finish. The only real question is how you want the ride handled.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Sealed rubber cushions that never need service. Runs about 30 to 40% cheaper with no compressor or pressure gauge to fuss with. Best if you want a hitch that is simple, tough, and a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount, with none of the air-ride routine.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you tune with pressure to match any load, for more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is a wear item over many years, though it swaps out in the field. 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, nobody has time to check airbag pressure before every tow. The Impact Max 20K drops that step completely. Hook up, pull, unhook, and do it again for years with no maintenance routine to remember. If you want Shocker capacity and ride quality but you treat the hitch like any other piece of fleet iron, this is the line built for you.
Same Attachments as the HD Max Black
The Impact Max 20K shares ball mount attachments with the HD Max Black, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. If you run several trucks across the Shocker lineup, your attachments carry over across the whole 20K family, so you are not buying a separate set for each hitch. The textured matte black powder coat holds up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and it is stocked in Canada for fast shipping with no border wait.
