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.
You feel every frost heave and hard stop come straight up through a solid ball mount, and behind a 1-ton pulling 20,000 lbs it hammers your truck, your trailer, and your cargo. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes that hit for you. Two sealed rubber bump cushions soak up the jarring and chucking so the ride settles down, the same cushion design proven on the Impact Cushion 14K, now built on the heavier 20K chassis. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch and Chrome Combo Ball Mount with 2-inch and 2-5/16-inch balls hauls a full 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb of tongue weight, slides into 3-inch receivers, and adjusts from 4-inch drop to 4-inch rise. There is no air pressure to check and nothing to maintain, so you hook up and pull.

Why Step Up to a 20K Cushion Hitch
Capacity That Matches a 1-Ton
The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons just fine. Once you are dragging skid steers, dump trailers, or equipment haulers behind a 1-ton, you have outgrown it and need the 20K chassis. You get the same cushion technology on heavier-duty steel.
Two Cushions That Take the Beating
Two sealed rubber cushions squeeze and rebound to swallow the shock a solid mount sends straight into your truck. The ball mount pivots as they work, so the ride stays smoother than a rigid hitch even loaded to full GTW.
Finish That Hides the Miles
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 to Drag Around
Air-ride hitches at this capacity want a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed and needs neither, which matters on a remote job site or out on the ranch where firing up a compressor is not always practical.
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, and it does the job without the 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 simple and durable beats tunable
- Owners moving up from the Impact Cushion 14K who ran out of capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Same 20K chassis family and the same matte black finish. Your call comes down to how you want the ride handled.
Impact Max 20K (this hitch)
Sealed rubber cushions, maintenance-free, and roughly 30 to 40 percent cheaper. No compressor and no pressure gauge to bother with. This is the pick when you want a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount and the simple, durable setup that comes with it.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you tune to any load, with more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is field-replaceable but wears over many years. This is the pick 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 busy fleet yard, you rarely have time to check airbag pressure before every tow. 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 treat the hitch like any other piece of fleet equipment, 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, including combo balls, pintle hooks, clevises, drawbars, raised mounts, and drop mounts. If you run several trucks across the Shocker lineup, one set of attachments crosses over the whole 20K product family. The textured matte black powder coat holds up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and every hitch is stocked in Canada and ships direct with no border wait.
