if you bought it at the dealer they should program it for you, I bought my last one at Bell ford in phoenix and they programed it for free, It takes about 10 seconds to do, I didn't watch all they did but I know they stuck a paper clip in a 2 wire connector in the loom under the steering wheel and than pushed the buttons on the fob and it was done.

HI and Welcome to Ford-Truck Enthusiasts!
I was going to mention that the manual states that you have to take it to a dealer for programming. Helifixer beat me to it.

Iirc, the technology changed between the model years. Like here is the one from my '98 & '99 past Rangers (out of the owner's manual)

Reprogramming transmitters
To reprogram all transmitters, place the key in the ignition and switch
from OFF to ON eight times in a row (within 10 seconds). After doors
lock/unlock, press any button on all transmitters (up to four). When
completed, switch the ignition to OFF.
All transmitters must be reprogrammed at the same time.
