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.
Drag a loaded equipment trailer behind a 1-ton with a solid hitch and the road beats you up for it. Every frost heave, every pothole, every hard stop slams straight up the drawbar and into the truck, the trailer, and whatever you are hauling. The Shocker Impact Max 20K takes that hit instead of you. Two sealed rubber bump cushions soak up the jarring and the chucking so the ride settles down and the rig quits fighting the pavement. This Impact Max Cushion Hitch & Cushion Drawbar w/1" Hole hauls the heaviest trailers you will put behind a 1-ton, up to 20,000 lbs GTW with up to 2,000 lb pressing down on the tongue, slides into a 3-inch receiver, and gives you 3-1/2" Drop to 3-1/2" Rise so you can sit the trailer level. No air pressure to check, no compressor to run, and no maintenance routine to keep up with.
Key Highlights
- Hauls up to 20,000 lbs of trailer with up to 2,000 lb bearing down on the tongue
- Two sealed rubber cushions soak up the road shock, with no air pressure to set and nothing to maintain

- 3-inch shank drops into the class V/VI receivers on the F-350, RAM 3500, and dual-rear-wheel one-tons

- Takes the same ball mount attachments as the HD Max Black ecosystem, so your existing setups carry over
- Costs roughly 30 to 40% less than the HD Max Black 20K air-ride version
- Built for 1-ton pickups and dual-rear-wheel trucks working right at the 20K limit

Why Step Up to a 20K Cushion Hitch
Capacity That Keeps Up With a 1-Ton
The 14K Impact Cushion handles half-tons and plenty of 3/4-tons just fine. Once you are pulling skid steers, dump trailers, and heavy equipment haulers behind a 1-ton, you need more steel under you. The 20K chassis gives you that, with the same cushion technology and heavier-duty steel.
Two Cushions Between You and the Road
A solid mount sends every jolt straight through to you. Two sealed rubber cushions compress and rebound to swallow that shock instead, and the pivoting ball mount geometry lets the load work with them. That is why a cushion hitch rides smoother than a solid mount even loaded right up to full GTW.
Matte Black That Hides the Grime
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.
Nothing to Pump Up
Air-ride hitches at this capacity want a compressor and a pressure gauge before every tow. The Impact Max 20K is sealed shut, so there is nothing to pump up and nothing to read. On a remote job site or out on the ranch, where dragging a compressor around is not always practical, that is one less thing to worry about.
The Trucks and Trailers This Was Built For
Twenty thousand pounds is serious weight, and this hitch is built for the trucks and loads that pull it every day, with none of the air-ride fuss.
- 1-ton pickups (F-350, RAM 3500, 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. What you are really choosing between is how the ride gets smoothed out.
Impact Max 20K (this product)
Sealed rubber cushions that never need attention. Runs about 30 to 40% cheaper, with no compressor and no pressure gauge to deal with. Grab this one if you want a real ride upgrade over a solid mount and would rather skip the air-ride routine entirely.
HD Max Black 20K (air-ride sibling)
An adjustable airbag you tune to each load, with 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 you can swap it in the field. This is the pick for daily towers and heavy-haul operators who want to dial the ride in load by load.
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 takes that step off your list. You 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 plan to treat the hitch like any other piece of fleet gear, this is the line built for you.
Shares Attachments With 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. Run more than one truck across the Shocker lineup and those attachments swap right across the 20K family, so you are not buying doubles. The textured matte black powder coat stands up to UV, road salt, and rock chips, and every hitch ships direct from stock in Canada with no border wait.
