Product Description

- Choose Pintle Hook or Base Hauler Air Hitch: Select the Road Force Hauler with a pintle hook for a ready-to-use pintle setup, or choose the base hitch only if you already have a compatible mount or want to bolt on your own towing attachment. Always verify the rating of your selected attachment, as overall towing capacity is limited by the lowest-rated component in the towing system.

- Easily Adjust for Trailer Weight, Best Ride & Load Control: Fine-tune the air pressure for different trailer weights and loads to improve ride quality and towing control. Add PSI for heavier loads and reduce it for lighter loads. The air-ride system helps absorb road shock and weight transfer that can affect steering, braking, and trailer sway.
- Fits a 4-1/8″ Inside Dimension Vertical Channel: Hitch mounting holes for 1″ pin diameter and spaced 2.5″ center to center. Two Hitch pin included.
- Quickly Installs in a Vertical Channel: Installing the Shocker 40K Road Force Hauler Air Hitch is simple with its vertical channel mount design. Slide the air ride trailer hitch into a compatible vertical channel, adjust it to the proper towing height, align the mounting holes, and secure it with the 1″ through pin. This setup provides a strong, straightforward trailer hitch installation while placing the air-ride system directly at the trailer connection.

- Pintle Hook – 40,000 lbs GTW & 8,000 lbs TW: Pintle Hook designed for a strong, secure connection with the Shocker 40K Road Force Hauler Air Hitch. Rated for up to 40,000 lbs GTW and 8,000 lbs TW. Note: Tow capacity is limited by the lowest-rated component.
- Bolt-On Mounts: The base frame has a 6-hole pattern: two columns, 3-3/8″ horizontal spread, three rows, 1-3/4″ vertical spread. The holes are for 9/16″ diameter hardware. It fits most bolt-on ball mounts, pintle hooks, and combination pintle/ball mounts that use this common 3-3/8″ wide pattern. With three rows of holes, you can set your mount high or low to match your trailer’s height.
- Reduces Stress, Breakage, Wear & Tear on Truck, Trailer, Cargo & Equipment: This Road Force air coupler helps reduce stress on the tow vehicle, driveline, trailer frame, welds, and cargo. Its shock-absorbing air ride design cushions road shock and movement that would otherwise transfer through a rigid tow vehicle-to-trailer connection. By reducing these forces, the Road Force Hauler air hitch can help minimize wear on the trailer coupler and frame stress, and the risk of cracking over rough roads.
- Less Stress on Passengers & Cargo: Passengers & cargo experience a smoother, more comfortable ride while being towed. The shock-dampening design helps absorb jerking, tugging, bumps, and road shock on rough roads and concrete highways that would normally transfer through a rigid connection. This helps reduce harsh movement inside both the tow vehicle and trailer.
- Simple & Effective Pivoting, Shock-Absorbing Design: Filters, dampens & absorbs road shock through the air ride system and urethane cushions using a rocker-arm pivot design. A greaseable 1-1/4″ diameter 1045 carbon steel pivot bolt is heat-treated and hardened for durability, with an easy-to-access grease zerk.
- Saves Money & Improves Fuel Economy: Save money by helping reduce breakage, wear, and costly repairs to trailer couplers, A-frames, frames, and welds. The air ride coupler cushions road shock that can stress and damage steel or aluminum trailers. By reducing these forces, it can help extend component life and lower repair costs. Some customers also report improved fuel economy of 1 to 2 MPG.
