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 20,000 pounds behind a 1-ton and you feel every frost heave and hard stop come straight through the truck. A solid ball mount hands all that jarring and trailer chucking to your hitch, your frame, and you. The Impact Max 20K softens it. Two sealed rubber bump cushions and a pivoting ball mount soak up the shock so a heavy load rides easier on the truck and everything behind it. It carries the full 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb tongue weight, fits 3-inch receivers, and adjusts from 4" Drop to 4" Rise for a level hookup, with a chrome sway bar tab combo mount holding both a 2" and 2-5/16" ball. Same proven cushion design as the Impact Cushion 14K on the heavier 20K chassis, in matte black powder coat, with no air pressure to check and nothing to maintain.

Why Step Up to a 20K Cushion Hitch
Enough Capacity for a Working 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 loaded equipment haulers behind a 1-ton, you have outrun it. The 20K chassis gives you the heavier steel to carry that weight, running the same cushion technology underneath.
Dual Rubber Bump Cushions
Two sealed rubber cushions take the tow shock and give it back gently, compressing and rebounding as the road works on you. The pivoting ball mount 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 hides road grime, resists chipping off gravel and salt, and pairs cleanly with a modern blacked-out truck. It is the same finish family as the HD Max Black air-ride line.
No Compressor to Drag Along
Air-ride hitches at this capacity need a compressor and a pressure gauge. The Impact Max 20K is sealed, so there is nothing to inflate. That matters on a remote job site or ranch where running 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 actually pull it, and it does the job without any 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, dump, and equipment-hauler trailers
- 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 ran out of capacity
Impact Max 20K vs HD Max Black 20K
Same 20K chassis, same matte black finish. The only real fork is how each one smooths the ride.
Impact Max 20K (this hitch)
Sealed rubber cushions do the work, so there is nothing to inflate and nothing to maintain. Runs about 30 to 40% cheaper, with no compressor or pressure gauge in the picture. This is the one to grab if you want simplicity, durability, and a clear ride upgrade over a solid mount.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag lets you dial pressure to the load for more travel and a smoother ride at any tongue weight. It needs an inflator, and the airbag is a field-replaceable wear item over many years. 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, you do not always have a minute to check airbag pressure before you pull out. The Impact Max 20K takes that step away entirely. You 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 your 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: 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 instead of buying twice. 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.
