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 loaded equipment trailer behind a 1-ton and you feel every frost heave, every expansion joint, and every hard stop come straight up through the truck. A solid ball mount passes all of it on, to your hitch, your trailer, and whatever is riding in it. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes the punch out of that. It is a 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 & Chrome Sway Bar Tab Combo Ball Mount w/2" & 2-5/16" Balls carries 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb tongue weight, fits 2-1/2-inch receivers, and gives you 4" Drop to 4" Rise, all with zero air pressure to manage and no ongoing maintenance.
Key Highlights
- Hauls up to 20,000 lbs GTW with 2,000 lb tongue weight, enough for the heaviest trailer behind a 1-ton
- Sealed dual rubber cushions soak up road shock, with no air pressure to set and nothing to maintain
- Matte black powder coat hides road grime, resists chips, and matches a blacked-out truck
- 2-1/2-inch shank drops into F-250 / RAM 2500-class three-quarter-ton trucks (class V receivers)

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

Why a 20K Cushion Hitch
Enough Truck for a One-Ton
The 14K Impact Cushion is plenty behind a half-ton and many 3/4-tons. Load a skid steer, a dump trailer, or a heavy equipment hauler behind a 1-ton, though, and you want the 20K chassis under you. Same cushion technology you already trust, built on heavier-duty steel.
Two Cushions Doing the Work
Two sealed rubber cushions take the tow shock by squeezing down and springing back, so most of it never reaches you. The pivoting ball mount geometry is what lets a cushion hitch ride smoother than a solid mount, even loaded right to full GTW.
A Finish That Takes Abuse
The textured matte black powder coat hides road grime, shrugs off chipping, and looks right on a modern blacked-out truck. It comes from the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
Nothing to Plug In
Air-ride hitches at this capacity want a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is neither. On a remote job site or out doing ranch work, where dragging out a compressor is not always practical, that is one less thing to fuss with.
Built For These Trucks and Trailers
Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight. The Impact Max is built for the trucks and loads that call for it, and it gets you there without any air-ride routine.
- 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 you want simple and tough over 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. What separates them is how they smooth out the ride.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Rubber cushions, sealed and maintenance-free. Runs about 30 to 40% cheaper. No compressor and no pressure gauge to bother with. Best if you want simplicity, durability, and a clear step up in ride over a solid mount, without taking on the air-ride routine.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you tune to the load, with more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator. The airbag swaps out in the field but is a wear item over many years. Best for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who value that adjustability.
Built for the Job Site
Out 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 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 hanging over you. 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: combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. Run several trucks across the Shocker ecosystem and your attachments carry across the 20K product family, so you buy one set instead of one per truck. 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.
